Mississauga surpasses energy and emissions targets while advancing greener city operations

The City of Mississauga continues to make meaningful progress toward its 5 Year Energy Conservation Plan, surpassing its annual energy reduction targets while expanding investments in sustainable infrastructure and smart building technologies.

Business and innovation | June 30, 2026

Highlights from Mississauga’s 2025 Annual Energy Report show a 2.6 per cent reduction in overall energy use, exceeding the City’s annual target of one per cent, alongside a 3.5 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions across its corporate buildings.

These results reflect ongoing efforts to modernize facilities, improve operational efficiency and transition to cleaner energy sources.

The City is steadily transitioning away from fossil fuels by integrating new technologies into both new and existing facilities. In 2025, this included:

  • Installation of heat pump systems, hybrid boilers and electrified water heating systems
  • Continued rollout of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and solar-ready infrastructure
  • Expansion of electric vehicle (EV) charging capacity, with more than 170 connections in place

Together, these actions support Mississauga’s commitment to reducing emissions, improving efficiency and building a more sustainable, resilient city.
