Oakville Place is owned by Ivanhoe Cambridge and is one of 13 shopping centres owned by the company that will benefit from an agreement between Ivanhoe Cambridge and the "green" energy retailer, Bullfrog Power. "We have been looking at working on green initiatives for quite some time," said Kimberly La Ronde, marketing director of Oakville Place Mall. "Bullfrog is one of them." Bullfrog power is the first and only electricity retailer in Ontario to provide 100 percent renewable energy and has been in operation since September 2005.

The company then decided to begin a three year agreement with Bullfrog. Bullfrog energy is purchased at a premium, as alternative energy costs more to produce than standard emission producing methods. "For the average home, it works out to about a dollar day more in addition to what they currently pay and for businesses it's about a 25 percent increase," said Tom Heintzman, President of Bullfrog Power. "It's about the cost of a bottle of water of a coffee per day." The power being used at Oakville Place itself is not necessarily coming directly from a green source such as a wind turbine.
