‘We’re leading the way:’ Government to run on green power by 2025
CALGARY — The federal Liberals are promising to run all government operations on renewable energy within a decade, Environment Minister Catherine McKenna said Wednesday.
Speaking in Calgary to the Canadian Wind Energy Association, McKenna said the switch is to be complete by 2025.
“Today, to show we’re leading the way, we are announcing our firm commitment to purchasing 100 per cent renewable power for government operations by 2025,” she said.
“The government needs to be a key player to support the acceleration of clean growth — not only through policy, but by investing and showing leadership.”
