Are you a heat pump owner in Ottawa? We want to hear from you!
We have launched a 5-minute survey for heat pump owners asking you about your experience during the installation process, so we can provide the best advice and recommendations to others looking to reduce their own emissions and install a heat pump. You can fill out the quick survey at the link below:
We will be turning the survey responses into a consumer guide - giving people in Ottawa the best advice on who to hire, what they should be looking for, and more.
For every 50 responses we will be randomly giving away a $25 gift card to Perfect Books Ottawa - so share this survey with your friends who have heat pump, and help us make the heat pump process easier for everyone!

Portage Power, a subsidiary of Hydro Ottawa, has submitted proposals for three new solar energy projects (Richmond Solar I, II, and III) in response to Ontario’s effort to expand renewable electricity generation. These proposed projects would contribute up to 80 megawatts of clean energy to the provincial grid while supporting environmental sustainability and long-term community benefits here in Ottawa.
The proposed solar installations would span four parcels of land in the Richmond area:
As Ontario prepares for major growth in electricity demand, these projects would help deliver clean, reliable power while generating local value. We encourage residents to learn more and take part in the public consultation process - there will be a Virtual Community Information Session on Friday, August 1st, 2025 at 12:00 pm.
