Energy Consciousness at Lester B. Pearson International Airport

Lester B. Pearson International Airport has been conscious about its need to have an independent energy supply, ever since Toronto experienced one of the most widespread power outages in its history on August 14, 2003. All of Ontario, and much of the Northeastern and Midwestern states of Canada suffered from loss of power on that day. The power failure lasted until August 15. When the power went out at the airport, thousands of passengers found their flights cancelled, leaving them stranded within the airport.
