Mississauga Surpasses Energy Reduction Target in 2025

The Mississauga Annual Energy Report highlights progress in reducing energy use, lowering emissions and expanding clean energy technologies.

MISSISSAUGA — The City of Mississauga exceeded its annual energy reduction target in 2025, recording a 2.6 per cent decrease in overall energy use and a 3.5 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions across its corporate buildings.

The results, released in the City’s 2025 Annual Energy Report, reflect continued investments in energy-efficient infrastructure and cleaner technologies as Mississauga works toward its long-term climate goals.

City officials say the improvements demonstrate progress in modernizing municipal facilities while reducing environmental impacts and improving operational efficiency.

Investments in Cleaner Energy

Throughout 2025, the City continued transitioning away from fossil fuels by introducing new technologies across municipal buildings and facilities.

Key initiatives included:

• Installation of heat pump systems
• Hybrid boiler systems
• Electrified water heating systems
• Continued expansion of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and solar-ready infrastructure
• Growth of the City’s electric vehicle charging network to more than 170 charging connections

The City says these projects are helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving the long-term performance and resilience of municipal infrastructure.

Supporting Climate Goals

Mississauga has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80 per cent by 2050.

The latest energy report indicates the City is making steady progress toward that target through facility upgrades, cleaner energy technologies and improved energy management practices.

Mayor Carolyn Parrish said the City’s investments are delivering both environmental and economic benefits.

“Mississauga has already made meaningful progress in advancing our goal of cutting greenhouse gases by 80 per cent by 2050,” Parrish said. “Our investments in cleaner, more efficient technologies and innovation are helping to not only reduce our environmental impact but also strengthen our local economy and create a healthier, more sustainable future for Mississauga.”

Modernizing Municipal Infrastructure

Raj Sheth, Commissioner of Community Services, said the City’s performance exceeded expectations despite the relatively modest percentage reductions.

“Surpassing our energy and emissions targets reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability,” Sheth said.

He noted that a 2.6 per cent reduction across all City buildings represents energy savings equivalent to the annual consumption of hundreds of homes while significantly lowering the City’s environmental footprint.

Officials say continued infrastructure modernization will remain a priority as Mississauga works to improve building performance, reduce operating costs and strengthen resilience against future climate challenges.

Building a Sustainable Future

The Annual Energy Report forms part of Mississauga’s broader climate strategy, which emphasizes reducing emissions, improving energy efficiency and investing in sustainable municipal infrastructure.

As the City continues expanding renewable energy systems and electrifying municipal operations, officials say these initiatives will help create healthier communities while supporting long-term environmental and economic sustainability.
