The Industrial sector is Canada’s largest consumer of energy, accounting for about 38 per cent of the energy used in Canada.
How this energy is used varies widely between the various industries within the sector – power for mining and construction vehicles, assembly lines and fabricating equipment, electricity for lighting and machinery, heat for smelting and refining.
Our Industrial section provides descriptions of the energy- and money-saving strategies each of the industrial sub-sectors utilizes or is planning to implement.
