BC wins for the second year.
The province is ahead in net-zero energy-ready building codes, electric vehicle registrations, industrial energy management systems, and low-carbon heating.
Congrats @jjhorgan @BruceRalston @GeorgeHeyman @bchydro @FortisBC

Prince Edward Island is the most improved province, and took the lead away from Nova Scotia for energy efficiency programs.
P.E.I. is now top in per capita program spending, with a strong emphasis on low-income and Indigenous communities.
Nice going @efficiencyPEI @dennyking

Quebec is second place and leads in the transportation category.
This year, the province made its first update to energy efficiency standards for large buildings since 1983.
@francoislegault announced a new plan yesterday, and can use energy savings to drive electrification

Alberta and Ontario both saw a significant drop in scores compared to the previous year.
These two provinces are a big part of national energy use. If they keep slipping, that is not good for national efficiency and emission goals.

All provinces have room to improve. The top score was 58/100 points
Leading American states have larger energy savings, and they will move faster under @JoeBiden
The Scorecard presents the policies and performance benchmarks Canadian provinces must hit to catch up.

The federal government wants provinces to catch up, because @SeamusORegan announced to @IEABirol that Canada aims to improve annual energy intensity by 3% a year, and Canada is currently at a 1% annual improvement.
How can the federal gov't help provinces improve energy efficiency? Here are 5 ideas
expand programs
Finance deep retrofits
A national zero-emission vehicle mandate
Support net-zero energy-ready building code adoption
Promote industrial energy management systems

Huge kudos to @jamesgaede for leading this year's scorecard and to @madeleinechauv2 for leading us into new areas like active transportation policies!
And don't forget that @EfficiencyCAN also has a searchable policy database for policy wonkery and market intelligence
