Ontario Government Implemented a Gas and Fuel Tax Cut Effective July 1st
As the focus on climate action increases globally, we must ask ourselves, “are these tax cuts leading Ontarians in the right direction?”.
Net zero by 2050 in Ontario will not be achievable without making some major adjustments, which will include transportation. Rather than tax cuts that encourage gas and fuel use, should we be incentivizing public transport and active transportation?
The Ontario government cut gas and fuel taxes as of July 1 to assist with rising costs. Until December 31, 2022, the gas tax rate is reduced from 14.7 cents per litre to 9 cents per litre, the fuel tax rate, applying diesel, is reduced from 14.3 cents per litre to 9 cents per litre.
As efficiency advocates, we must point out that it is possible to cut fuel and gas costs by 100%- by riding your bike or taking public transit!
June’s 2022 GA cost is $0.76 billion. This is a 1% decrease from May’s 2022 GA, Energy@Work provides a regular review of GAM costs and continues to ask “why?”
Energy@Work’s services includes a “GAM coach”. We maintain the importance of a GAM Strategy for Class A and Class B in order to win the (GAM)e. Our collective savings have exceeded $10 million, and we look forward to continuing to assist.

Energy and Water Reporting and Benchmarking
Ontario regulation 506/18 mandates that all buildings over 100,000 SqFt must report their annual energy and water consumption to the Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines.
With the recently announced extension to August 26th, 2022, there is still time to submit your data and meet compliance.
For the first-time in Ontario utilities are required to provide aggregated data. This is your opportunity to review aggregated consumption data and compare how energy and water are used.
Benchmarking is the first logical step in Energy Management. The second step is to properly understand what the data is saying – we help with both!
