Hundreds of thousands of Toronto area residents powered down for Earth Hour last weekend, accounting for almost half of the 900-megawatt drop in electricity consumption recorded province-wide.

Across the GTA, according to calculations by the various hydro utilities, Earth Hour saved about 434 megawatts between 8 and 9 p.m. on Saturday, when Canadians joined millions around the world in making a symbolic statement about conservation and climate change by turning their lights off.
