Regional electricity planning in the St. Lawrence region is underway. This engagement initiative will provide interested parties with an opportunity to offer input for consideration into the elements of an Integrated Regional Resource Plan (IRRP) anticipated to be complete late 2027.
Regional electricity planning takes a 20-year outlook on every region in the province. The planning process provides an opportunity for communities to inform the IESO about anticipated needs and priorities, and to contribute to the development of the options for meeting this region’s future electricity needs.
