Rapidly growing demand for electricity, the decreasing price of technologies like battery storage and solar power, as well as the integration of new technologies for generating, storing, managing, and distributing our electricity are together driving significant changes in our electricity system.
Even as our system evolves, the outcomes for end- users of our energy system need to remain constant. For industrial energy users there are four principles that must underpin this period of transition. Users require an electricity system—from generation to the customer—that is reliable, affordable, predictable, and clean.
Through dialogue with many of Ontario’s largest energy users and key energy stakeholders, this report identifies some of the key challenges that need to be confronted to ensure the province’s electricity grid can support ongoing economic growth.
