Identifying Electricity Needs and Presenting Draft Recommendations for Niagara Region
November 13, 2026
Bulk electricity planning continues for the Niagara region and the Welland, Thorold, and Hamilton areas. A webinar is scheduled for December 1 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. where the IESO will share the identified priority needs and preliminary draft recommendations to meet them.
The Niagara Bulk Plan, which is examining the adequacy of the transmission system to support growth while maintaining operability standards at a broader provincial scale, is being undertaken in parallel with the Niagara Integrated Regional Resource Plan, which is examining needs and options at a regional level. The IESO will provide updates on regional planning and upcoming engagement opportunities during the second quarter of 2027.
Presentation materials for the Niagara Bulk Plan will be made available in advance of the webinar, and participants are encouraged to register ahead of time.
