ONTARIO’S ENERGY FUTURE: GETTING THE SUPPLY MIX RIGHT[>>>]
The Ontario Power Authority is submitting an updated Integrated Power System Plan to help Ontario anticipate and meet its long-term electricity needs. Up to now, planning has been based on a risk-mitigation perspective focused on peak capacity and provincial supply self-sufficiency. In SECOR’s view this is fundamentally expensive and has led to overcapacity. An increasingly relevant question is: “Are there other perspectives which can help reduce costs and safely meet the supply needs for Ontario’s future?”
In the point of view, SECOR examines the fundamental drivers of the current twenty-year projection of Ontario’s energy needs, contrasted against an operational planning perspective.
