Important Energy and Water Reporting and Benchmarking (EWRB) Updates

Please be advised that the Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines recently released an important Energy and Water Reporting and Benchmarking (EWRB) update to inform relevant stakeholders that they can now report their 2019 energy and water usage to the Ministry.

Reporting Deadline Extension

The ministry is aware that the outbreak of COVID-19 may have a significant impact on large building owners' ability to satisfy the July 1, 2020 reporting deadline. Due to the challenges created as a direct consequence of COVID-19, the ministry will accept the submission of 2019 data from large building owners until October 1, 2020.

Amendment to O. Reg. 506/18

Please note that the ministry has amended O. Reg. 506/18 to delay the roll-out of the Energy and Water Reporting and Benchmarking initiative to buildings between 50,000 and 100,000 square feet until 2023, allowing three additional years for small building owners to prepare for reporting their energy and water usage data.
