Dear Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on removing the timing requirements for releasing Ontario’s next long-term energy plan by revoking Ontario Regulation 355/17. We appreciate that these are uniquely busy times and appreciate the move to consult via the ERO even though this is not strictly required.
The City of Ottawa has made use of the previous Long Term Energy Plans. We have used it as both a forecasting document for energy planning and budgeting and as high-level input to our Municipal Energy Plan, Energy Evolution. We note that that proposed details indicate that the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Northern Development aim to review and update the current LTEP planning process by clarifying the role of the government and its agencies to enable better use of resources and benefit consumers.
The City of Ottawa welcomes opportunities to assist and give input both as a consumer and as a stakeholder working on municipal policy and program. We understand the province’s interest in making an improved LTEP and have keen interest in contributing to and in using the next report to everyone’s benefit.
Mike Fletcher,
