Energizing the North
The Ontario electricity system is at a critical juncture. Provincial forecasts and experts agree that powering our economy will become more challenging in years ahead. For the first time since 2005, Ontario is poised to become a net importer of electricity. Customers are clamouring for more affordable, resilient, and reliable power - and the and the pressure on costs is going up. Nowhere more are these dynamics felt than in northern Ontario. From the electrification of steelmaking and supporting our miners, to the future of biomass generation and building new transmission and hydroelectric resources, find out what’s going on in the turbulent world of politics, policy and planning when it comes to today’s and tomorrow’s pressures on our provincial grid and its customers. Join us for this presentation by Chris Benedetti of Sussex Strategy and learn more.
