Ontario's official debut on the carbon market
“In order to reach the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction objectives in Québec, we must first encourage citizens and businesses to reduce their energy consumption through properly adapted energy efficiency programs. Beyond that, GHG residual emissions must be reduced or offset in a variety of ways, including through the carbon market. We are delighted to see a third major player join us in this effort. The carbon market and the fight against climate change are opportunities for Québec, California, and now Ontario to move toward a greener economy, and we are proud to be a part of it,” said Stéphanie Trudeau, Senior Vice President, Regulatory, Customers and Communities at Énergir.
With more than $7 billion in assets, Énergir is a diversified energy company whose mission is to meet the energy needs of its 520,000 customers and the communities it serves in an increasingly sustainable way. In Quebec, it is the leading natural gas distribution company and also produces, through its subsidiaries, electricity from wind power. In the United States, through its subsidiaries, the company operates in nearly fifteen states, where it produces electricity from hydraulic, wind and solar sources, in addition to being the leading electricity distributor and the sole natural gas distributor in Vermont. Énergir values energy efficiency and invests both resources and efforts in innovative energy projects such as renewable natural gas and liquefied and compressed natural gas. Through its subsidiaries, it also provides a variety of energy services. Énergir hopes to become the partner of choice for those striving toward a better energy future.
