Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan 3
Purpose
The Municipality of Bayham 2024-2029 Energy Conservation and Demand
Management Plan as required pursuant to Ontario Regulation 25/23, which replaces its
predecessor regulations, 507/18 and 397/11, under the Electricity Act is designed to
assist in facilitating the continued progress of the Municipality of Bayham toward a
sustainable future based on clear objectives and targets, and a call to focused
community action.
The 2024-2029 Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan aligns with the
Municipality’s 2023-2026 Community Strategic Plan, specifically Section 2.3, which
states:
2.3: Quality of Life > To engage the community in raising its value for and
consciousness of the environment through innovative natural area, energy
and other environmental conservation initiatives
Initiative(s): Review the Municipal Energy Plan
Declaration of Commitment
The Council of The Corporation of the Municipality of Bayham is committed to allocating
necessary resources, where it is cost effective and corporately feasible and responsible
to do so, to develop and implement a living and functional Energy Conservation and
Demand Management Plan as required under Ontario Regulation 25/23. The
Municipality of Bayham Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan shall
strive to educate staff and public, implement energy efficiencies and best practices, and
reduce energy consumption and its related environmental impact.
All Municipal staff, coordinated by the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), shall work
towards the implementation, analysis, monitoring, and review of progress towards the
goal of an energy efficient and sustainable Municipality of Bayham.
The Municipality of Bayham shall incorporate energy efficiency and energy awareness
into all areas of municipal action including corporate procedures, procurement practices,
financial management and investment decisions.
Municipal Energy Leader
The administration and implementation of the Municipality of Bayham 2024-2029
Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan shall be the responsibility of the
CAO. As all staff contribute to energy use, all staff shall share the responsibility to be
cognizant of energy use and work towards a culture of conservation. Through staff
training and corporate information tracking, the Municipality shall be able to see the
results of efforts. By incorporating energy use consideration into the capital and
Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan 4
operating budget process, staff will ensure the implementation of sustainable and
efficient energy use at an asset level moving forward.
The progress made by the Municipality of Bayham at the corporate level and the goals
established moving forward will further inform upcoming and ongoing review of the
Municipality’s Energy Plan/Local Action Plan on Greenhouse Gas Emissions to move
Bayham forward geographically as an environmental leader.
Current Municipal Energy Tracking Practices
The management of energy consumption and the energy performance of the
Municipality of Bayham is currently monitored corporately and includes actual monetary
costs of energy. The current tracking method is mainly used for satisfaction of Ontario
Regulation 25/23 and budgeting purposes. Tracking practices comprise twenty-one (21)
active municipal facilities and two (2) legacy facilities, servicing functional areas of
Administration, Cultural Services, Fire and Emergency Services, Public Works,
Recreation, and Wastewater.
As a best practice, staff define baseline statistics to accurately evaluate progress over
the life of the Plan to address benefits to municipal finance and overall energy use. For
purposes of this Plan, the 2023 calendar year will be used as the baseline for municipal
benchmarking purposes. Successes discussed later in this Plan use 2018 as the
baseline.
Attached to this Plan in Appendix “A” are municipal energy consumption statistics for
the 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2023 energy reporting years for each of the facilities the
Municipality reports on. Energy consumption data was collected for 2020 and 2021, but
due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on municipal operations
and facility usage in 2020 and 2021, statistics for these years are considered
anomalous and have been excluded from the Appendix.
Conservation Targets
The Municipality of Bayham shall strive to obtain the goals outlined in the Municipality of
Bayham 2024-2029 Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan in order to
obtain the following targets:
• Reduce the greenhouse gas emissions (kg) of the Municipality by ten (10)
percent prior to July 1, 2029.
• Improve greenhouse gas emission efficiency (kg/ft2) of the Municipality by ten
(10) prior to July 1, 2029.
• Reduce energy consumption (ekWh/yr) of the Municipality by an average of 0.5
percent per year during the life of the Plan.
• Reduce natural gas consumption (m3/yr) of the Municipality by an average of 0.5
percent per year during the life of the Plan.
Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan 5
Objectives:
The Municipality of Bayham 2024-2029 Energy Conservation and Demand
Management Plan shall assist in facilitating the transition of the Municipality towards a
sustainable future based on the following objectives:
• Maximize fiscal resources and avoid cost increases through direct and indirect
energy savings.
• Reduce the environmental impact of the Municipality's operations.
• Increase the comfort and safety of occupants of Municipal facilities.
• Promote a culture of energy conservation within the Municipality and the
community.
2018-2023 Successes
The previous Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan included similar
targets for the previous five year time period. These general goals have been applied to
the evaluation of the progress the Municipality of Bayham has made over the last five
years respecting energy and natural gas usage.
Since 2018, total municipal electricity usage (eKwh/yr) has decreased by 13.33 percent;
total municipal natural gas usage (m3/yr) has decreased by 29.44 percent; and, total
municipal greenhouse gas emissions1 (kg) have decreased by an estimated 17.5
percent, resulting in improved efficiency of municipal facility space. Associated tables
and charts are included below:
Table and Chart – 2018-2023 – electricity usage (eKwh) trend for municipal facilities.

annual multipliers through the Municipality’s Energy Portfolio Manager.

Table and Chart – 2018-2023 – Natural gas usage (m3) trend for municipal facilities.
A key component of the realized reductions in total electricity demand and natural gas
cubic metres consumed was the disposition of under-utilized, surplus non-core critical
facilities to follow progress made between 2015 and 2020 to improve facility efficiencies
by right-sizing municipal facility floor area to current operational realities. This results in
a total eKwh decrease of approximately 50,000 Kwh/year in perpetuity.
2024-2029 Actions and Measures
The intent of the Municipality of Bayham 2024-2029 Energy Conservation and Demand
Management Plan is to provide a relevant strategy with clear targets in order to clearly
communicate the Municipal commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability. Utilizing
the expertise of public sector organizations and the dedication of staff, the Municipality
of Bayham shall overcome limited financial and human resources to complete actions
as follows towards energy efficiency and sustainability.
