Toronto, Ontario — A new report from Clean Energy Canada, “Opening the Door,” indicates that switching to an electric vehicle can lead to significant household savings in all provinces except for Alberta.
The new report specifically includes provincial breakdowns of monthly savings from switching to heat pumps, electric vehicles and other clean energy upgrades.
While the savings vary for detached homes, townhouses and condos, in all provinces except Alberta, households are saving money over time by making sustainable upgrades, the study notes.
Rachel Doran, Clean Energy Canada’s vice president of policy and strategy originally told Canada’s National Observer that unlike other provinces, Alberta has not made enough investment to support electrification.
When looking at Clean Energy Canada’s data, Ontario consumers are positioned to save approximately $551 when making sustainable energy switches in a detached house; $421 for a townhouse; and $220 for a condo.
By comparison, Alberta consumers are only looking at approximately $21 in savings for a detached home; $64 in a townhouse; and $51 for a condo.
