East Lake Superior
The regional planning process was completed for the East Lake Superior region with the release of a long-term electricity plan – Integrated Regional Resource Plan (IRRP) and supporting Appendices – in Q2 2021. The plan identifies electricity system needs specifically related to reliability; some of these needs are expected to be addressed through operational transmission solutions, while others will be considered as part of the IESO’s bulk planning studies in 2021 due to the nature of the needs. A Regional Infrastructure Plan (RIP) led by Hydro One is expected to be completed by mid-to-late-2021.
A Scoping Assessment Outcome Report and Terms of Reference that set the parameters for IRRP development were finalized and posted in October 2019 following a two-week comment period.
