A Guide to understanding the role communities play in Ontario’s Electricity System

Ontario’s electricity sector is changing quickly. Technological advances are allowing for a new focus on local electricity resources, and creating the potential for a more diverse and decentralized system to meet your growing electricity needs. This could mean new opportunities for regions and municipalities to meet their priorities of energy independence, and economic development across the province.

Rapid change also means municipal leaders need relevant information to make well-informed decisions on key issues that will affect their communities.
