A three-year plan submitted by Efficiency Manitoba to the
Public Utilities Board for approval — the first such plan for the
corporation — says its energy conservation measures will include doing
more in-home visits than before, expanding the appliance recycling
program, and even asking children to check their homes and determine
what energy-saving tools are needed.

The energy reduction
targets are “very aggressive targets,” Kuruluk said, “and not only were
we able to meet them, but we were able to meet them cost-effectively. I
think that’s the overriding positive to the plan.”
The new
agency is planning an average annual budget of $69.9 million over the
next three years, which is nine per cent lower than what Manitoba Hydro
budgeted for energy-saving programs under Power Smart in 2015-16.
