Summary
If the University of Ottawa exemplifies the ways that public institutions have focused on energy demand management and new forms of infrastructure (in their case, innovations within buildings), we also saw in Chapter 7 that there has been significant activity by community and private sector initiatives focused more on changing energy supply. Here we focus in more detail on one particularly prominent initiative, the Ottawa Renewable Energy Cooperative (OREC).
