Municipalities! Join the 15,000 MWh Challenge!

Green your electricity with AMO/LAS and Bullfrog Power!

The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), through its subsidiary company, Local Authority Services (LAS), has again partnered with Bullfrog Power, Ontario’s first 100% green electricity provider, in a challenge that encourages municipalities to reduce their collective carbon footprint by greening their power.

Conventional electricity production is among the largest industrial sources of carbon dioxide — a primary greenhouse gas that is linked to climate change — and is a major source of air pollutants. By bullfrogpowering your operations with clean, renewable electricity, your municipality can help to create a healthier environment for future generations. For every megawatt hour of green power generated on your behalf, your municipality’s CO₂ emissions footprint is reduced by 219 kilograms.

By becoming bullfrogpowered, your municipality will

• reduce its carbon footprint;
• help to create a healthier environment for families, communities and future generations; and
• support the production of more renewable power in Ontario.

Why Participate?

Members of the AMO/LAS Natural Gas and Electricity Purchase programs who bullfrogpower their town hall, hockey rink, library or any other facility will become part of a collective goal to purchase 15,000 MWh of green electricity. If the target is met by the 2009 AMO Conference, all bullfrogpowered municipalities that have signed on as part of this challenge will receive a 5% discount on their purchase.
