Meet the Ontario Chapter

For over 15 years, the AESP Ontario Chapter has brought together energy efficiency and demand response professionals working in utilities, consultants, government agencies, public‑benefit organizations, and manufacturers in one of Canada’s most dynamic and fast‑evolving energy markets.

The chapter’s programming and partnerships have also drawn participation from neighbouring provinces. The conditions in Ontario including dense urban centres, rural system constraints and industrial demand paired with ambitious decarbonization goals are not unique to the province and reflect the shared challenges and opportunities across Canada.
