Durham Community Energy Plan – Evaluation Framework

In 2018 the Region of Durham created the Durham Community Energy Plan (DCEP), Durham Region’s strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to a green economy. Achieving the goals of the DCEP will provide multiple economic, environmental and social benefits to Durham Region. Successful implementation of the DCEP however will require collecting and reporting on data from multiple groups (e.g. government, community organizations, postsecondary institutions, and utilities) to ensure that the goals of the DCEP are met. The purpose of the current project is to develop a framework to evaluate the success of DCEP goals.
