The value we ratepayers pay for unreliable and intermittent wind and solar energy is totally disconnected from its actual value. The amount of curtailed wind generation is scandalous. The FIT contract price and the market sale price, according to the IESO, cost us the same as the cancellation of the two gas plants just in the first 10 months of 2016.
Energy poverty in Ontario should never exist. No justification exists for sacrificing the most vulnerable in our society.
The Minister of Energy needs to forthwith cancel, not just suspend, LRP I and LRP II and any remaining unbuilt wind and solar projects to stop these ideologically-based increases in electricity rates.
