Lenders, Homeowners, Contractors, Utilities (Enbridge and Enwin), Windsor Essex Community Housing Corporation, and municipalities (Towns of Newmarket, Oakville and City of Brampton) as itemized in Appendix C of the Business Case

Conclusion:

Based on the analytical findings and stakeholder engagement, the Business Case as completed by the Consultant concludes there are reasonable grounds to consider proceeding to implement the CEP recommendation of a Residential Deep Energy Retrofit Strategy. This conclusion is made with the understanding that the Entity established to administer the program would first need to complete and approve a Business Plan to start implementation. It is Administration’s strong view that any Business Plan would need to be well balanced and also consider the various legal, financial and operational risks associated with establishing such an Entity to administer the Program. The consultant further notes that without establishing an Entity with a mandate to deliver high quality, standardized residential energy efficiency retrofit packages to most Windsor homes, the City’s energy and efficiency goals, as approved in the CEP, are unlikely to be realized. Further detailed analysis will continue in order to assess the risks and benefits of proceeding with a Business Plan.
