RECENT SUBMISSIONS, NEWSLETTERS AND NEWS


PWU Submission to the Ministry of Energy on Treatment of Corporate Power
Purchase Agreements (ERO 019-7853) December 15, 2023.

The Ministry of Energy is seeking feedback regarding the Treatment of Corporate
Power Purchase Agreements within the structure of the Industrial Conservation
Initiative (ICI) rate program for large energy consumers. The Ministry is
seeking to use the mechanism to provide system benefits, enhance Ontario’s
industrial competitiveness, and promote new clean generation such as solar and
wind. The PWU recognizes the need to develop clean energy resources and the
competitiveness challenges that the pending electricity cost increases will pose
when the Pickering station closes. However, the PWU recommends that the Ministry
should not implement this corporate PPA approach given its high […]

IESO Evolution of Annual Planning Outlook and Annual Acquisition Report, Dec 4,
2023

The IESO introduced its approach to the Evolution of Annual Planning Outlook
(APO) and Annual Acquisition Report (AAR) and acknowledged that policy urgency
is accelerating with the Ministry’s release of the Powering Ontario’s Growth
(POG) report (which relied heavily on the IESO’s Pathways to Decarbonization
study (P2D)). The IESO has recognized the need to better coordinate its APO and
AAR processes and sought feedback on the helpful elements of the APO/AAR and
enhancements to their processes. The PWU identified that the IESO could best
serve Ontarians by urgently developing realistic demand forecasts across all
regions that reflect the electrification of […]

Clean Electricity Standard Submission Nov 2023

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) proposed the draft Clean
Electricity Regulation (CER) that significantly reduces the ability to use
gas-fired generation after 2035. The proposed CER reflects many of the inputs
the PWU has provided. However, the proposed CER many risk areas that make it
impossible for the CER to achieve its objectives anywhere in the country in the
timeframe identified. The PWU has recommended that the ECCC reconsider the
timelines contained in the CER given the higher electrification driven demand,
the conclusions it is drawing from its modeling about the potential contribution
of renewables, and the disconnects between […]

Submission on the IESO’s GTA North Regional Planning September 2023

The IESO presented its findings of the recent scoping assessment for the GTA
North (York Region) and recommended that they undertake a new Integrated
Regional Resource Planning (IRRP) activity. The PWU applauds the IESO’s
consideration of the new demand identified in the provinces recent Powering
Ontario’s Growth Report and the government’s directive to ensure a reliable
system for the long run. PWU analysis show that demand is accelerating very
quickly and as a result recommends that the IESO accelerate their regional
planning processes and coordinate more effectively among all of its planning
activities or risk the ongoing reliability of Ontario’s […]

Submission to Finance Canada on the Budget 2023 Clean Energy ITCs

The federal government is seeking feedback on the design of a number of clean
energy related refundable Investment Tax Credit (ITC) that were proposed and or
refined in the 2023 Budget. The PWU is pleased that the federal government is
responding to the U.S. direction in its Inflation Reduction Act and has acted on
many of the PWU’s prior recommendations including new nuclear eligibility for
these tax credits and prioritizing economic growth and well-paying jobs. The PWU
remains concerned that the ITCs do not represent a level playing field for
advancing non-emitting resources in the electricity sector in an achievable […]

PWU Submission on Critical Transmission Infrastructure ERO 019-7336

The Ministry of Energy (MoE) is seeking feedback regarding the priority of three
Critical Transmission Infrastructure projects in Northeast and Eastern Ontario.
The PWU recognizes the urgency of these projects and supports the Ministry’s
prioritization of these three transmission projects by Hydro One in order to
accelerate the development. However, the PWU also recommends that the detailed
design of the projects: better reflect the emerging demand presented in the
government’s Powering Ontario Growth Report; extend the operations of the
Atikokan Generating station to reduce risk; advance the GTA East planning; and
ensure that the IESO considers the higher demand implications […]

Submission on the IESO’s Central-West Bulk System Planning Study Plan August
2023

The IESO provided an update on the bulk system planning and study for the
Central-West area to ensure continued, reliable supply to the London area in
light of the recently announced Volkswagen EV plant. The Central West Area
encompasses the Bruce and Niagara Peninsula and all areas to Windsor. The IESO
sought feedback on bulk system study scope, potential growth areas, and any
additional information. The PWU recommends that the IESO not use its 2022 APO
reference demand case but instead consider the demand forecasts reflected in the
Government’s “Powering Ontario Growth Report” and the related supply
implications of government’s […]

PWU Submission on IESO York Region NWA Demonstration Project EPRI Study

PWU Submission on IESO York Region NWA Demonstration Project EPRI Study, Aug 17,
2023 The IESO is seeking feedback on the draft Electricity Research Power
Institute (EPRI) Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Scenarios and Modelling
Study findings prepared for the IESO’s York Region Non-Wires Alternative (NWA)
demonstration project. In response to questions posed by the IESO, the PWU
commented that the EPRI study suggests that there was only marginal value in
stacking distribution and wholesale services, the opportunity does not warrant
the creation of a Distribution System Operator (DSO) model, there is not
sufficient detail to evaluate the coordination models, and […]

PWU Submission to the Ministry of Energy (MoE) on IESO’s Pathways to
Decarbonization Study, ERO 019-6647, May 2023.

The Ministry of Energy (MoE) is seeking feedback on the IESO’s Pathways to
Decarbonization Study (P2D) report and, in particular, the IESO’s “no-regret”
recommendations. This submission draws upon previous PWU advice to the
government, the OEB and the IESO. There is evident urgency to resolving
Ontario’s energy planning framework and initiating the siting and procurement
processes, particularly for nuclear, the generally accepted most economic option
for supplying Ontario’s future baseload electricity needs. The PWU believes that
there are alternative electricity system scenarios that can provide lower cost
and higher economic and environmental benefits to Ontario than identified by the
P2D […]
