EfficiencyOne Scholarship for Indigenous Peoples
EfficiencyOne is a leading efficiency enterprise. We work with a number of outstanding partners to supply cost-effective energy efficiency and carbon mitigation services in Nova Scotia and beyond. We transform the way people use energy. Together, we help people achieve their energy goals, save money, conserve resources, improve well-being, and combat climate change. Investing in energy efficiency comes with many benefits—lower heating bills, more comfortable spaces, new jobs in your community, and a smaller overall carbon footprint.
Our work has achieved over $4 billion in energy savings and contributed to 22% of Nova Scotia's GHG emission reductions. If there's a better way to improve energy efficiency, we'll find it. Find out more about how we are making an impact here: https://www.efficiencyone.ca/impact/
EfficiencyOne is committed to Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. We look forward to building on the partnerships we have developed over the last 10 years through our work with the 13 Mi’kmaq communities in Nova Scotia. Our goal is to reach all homes by 2027 to complete energy-efficient upgrades such as insulation, heat pumps, and draft-proofing to help make homes more comfortable while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To date, this work has been completed in over 700 homes, saving more than 3,858 tonnes in GHG emissions.
