A new analysis found that Ontario would have to add twice as much new generation as it is already planning, which is ‘not feasible’ in that time frame
Ontario is urging the federal government to amend proposed electricity regulations after an analysis by the province’s system operator concluded the rules would mean $35-billion in additional costs by 2050.
Ontario Energy Minister Stephen Lecce has written to the federal ministers of the environment and energy, urging them to make changes to the rules. Guilbeault and Wilkinson say they are also keeping affordability top of mind while designing the new rules, set to soon be finalized. Ontario has been adding more natural gas generation to the electricity system, which the province says is necessary to ensure the grid remains reliable while nuclear plants undergo refurbishments and as demand rises faster than new nuclear and battery storage facilities can come online.
