Support responsible electricity procurement in Ontario

The IESO’s newly proposed long-term procurement framework is inconsistent with climate targets and poses risks for Ontario businesses and ratepayers. Sign our open letter to Minister of Energy Todd Smith, urging procurement that prioritizes clean, affordable, reliable electricity generation.

Businesses are counting on Ontario’s clean electricity to help them achieve their net-zero commitments

As Ontario evolves its electricity system to meet growing demands, we can’t afford to lose our clean grid advantage. Clean, reliable, and predictably priced electricity makes doing business in Ontario more sustainable and competitive.

Procuring new natural gas generation would expose Ontario to risks of stranded assets

Amidst evolving regulations like the clean electricity standard and rising carbon price, newly procured natural gas generation capacity risks delay or cancellation, leaving Ontario ratepayers on the hook.

Ontario should take another path as a leader in the global energy transition

This path will offer a competitive market for global investors, address the worst impacts of climate change, and create a more resilient and affordable grid for ratepayers.
