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. Regional planning looks at the unique needs of each region, and considers wire and non-wire options and innovative resources to meet the needs. This engagement initiative will provide interested parties with an opportunity to offer input for consideration during the regional planning process.
Regional electricity plans take up to a 20-year outlook on every region in the province. The planning process provides an opportunity for participants to tell the IESO about anticipated needs and priorities, and to contribute to the development of the options for meeting this region’s future electricity needs.
All interested parties are invited to participate in this engagement initiative and may include but are not limited to:
Municipalities of Oxford County, Middlesex County, Elgin County, City of London, City of St. Thomas and parts of Norfolk County.
