Vancouver City Council has paused its energy rating bylaw, which would have required energy performance information for homes. The pause was brought forward by council motion in the context of a broader reconsideration of building emissions requirements and natural gas rules.

BC Hydro has launched Power Smart 2.0, a $1-billion demand-side management plan described as its largest-ever conservation program. Offerings include free smart thermostats, instant rebates on efficient products, and pay-for-performance incentives for residential customers.

By 2030 the plan targets 800 MW of capacity savings and 2,200 GWh of annual energy savings — enough to power roughly 220,000 homes — and more than $2 billion in avoided or deferred infrastructure costs. BC Hydro also projects $1.4 billion in GDP growth and as many as 3,500 jobs annually.

The federal government is providing $6 million to train and hire skilled trades workers, announced in the context of housing supply. The Spring Economic Update also includes funding for low-cost Apartment Construction Loans. Neither measure attaches energy efficiency requirements or references efficiency outcomes.

Efficiency Manitoba has begun piloting home energy reports with 100,000 residential customers. The reports benchmark a household's energy use against comparable homes and assign a comparative rating, using social-comparison feedback to prompt conservation behaviour. The pilot is explicitly framed as a precursor to province-wide deployment.

Newfoundland and Labrador's provincial budget continues the Home Heating Supplement Program at $12 million annually, available to households with adjusted family income of $150,000 or less that heat with furnace or stove oil. The budget separately allocates $45 million to offset the impact of a Newfoundland Power rate increase.
