Abstract
The focus of this paper is on what Ontario Hydro, a Canadian electrical utility, is doing to implement sustainable energy development, and in particular, how we are using a full cost accounting (FCA) approach to better integrate environment into decision-making. Both process issues — what mechanisms are in place to drive a change to a more sustainable energy future — as well as specific program activities, will be described.
