Regional Planning Progress Update

Regional electricity planning has kicked-off in the London Area electrical region to ensure a reliable supply of electricity, and to support local growth and economic development.

The 2025 London Area Scoping Assessment Outcome Report and the IESO’s response to feedback has been posted following the April 1 narrated presentation. The report detailed the need for a coordinated regional planning approach and development of an Integrated Regional Resource Plan (IRRP) for the London Electrical Area.
