Office of Energy Efficiency moved from Natural Resources Canada to Environment and Climate Change Canada

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

The federal government has transferred the Office of Energy Efficiency out of Natural Resources Canada and placed it under the control of Environment and Climate Change Canada. This is an administrative machinery-of-government change — the office and its staff move to a new departmental home, but its mandate continues. Businesses, manufacturers, and other regulated parties that interact with the Office of Energy Efficiency for programs, compliance, labelling, or standards may eventually deal with different departmental contacts or processes. No immediate changes to existing rules or program requirements are described in this order; affected parties should monitor for any follow-on updates from the newly responsible department.

Who this affects: manufacturers subject to energy efficiency regulations · importers of energy-using products · businesses participating in Office of Energy Efficiency programs · industry associations engaged with federal energy standards
