Ontario regional energy planning centres on public consultation with municipalities, communities, IESO and the Ontario Power Authority to guide siting decisions, strengthen the electricity grid, and invest in clean, reliable infrastructure across the province.
What You Need to Know
An inclusive process using municipal input and expert review to site and invest in clean, reliable power.
- Public consultations guide siting decisions
- Municipalities and communities provide formal input
- IESO and Ontario Power Authority coordinate plans
- Aligns with Long-Term Energy Plan review
The new Ontario government is improving how the province plans and builds large energy infrastructure projects going forward.
To ensure that Ontario builds energy infrastructure in a process that respects communities, the government has asked two key agencies to develop a new regional energy planning process based on formal input from municipalities, communities and the energy sector.
Regional energy plans will rely on public consultations and municipal input, mindful of the OPA's 20-year plan delay experience to ensure that Ontario gets siting decisions right the first time - while recognizing that a strong electricity grid requires ongoing investments in clean, modern and reliable energy infrastructure.
The Independent Electricity System Operator and the Ontario Power Authority are expected to report back to the Minister of Energy with a joint implementation plan by August 1st, 2013. The plan will take into account recommendations on energy project siting made by the Legislative Assembly's Standing Committee on Justice Policy.
Through strong public consultation, regional energy plans will lead to better decision making - so that future electricity generation contracts place energy infrastructure in the right location from the beginning.
Engaging communities in the regional energy planning process is part of the new Ontario government's plan, aligned with the Energy Minister's crisis plan objectives to build strong communities, powered by clean, reliable energy.
QUICK FACTS
- The government recently announced a six-month review of Ontario's Long-Term Energy Plan to determine the best energy supply mix for the province over the next 20 years. The review will be based on strong public consultations.
