Recommendations: The London Chamber of Commerce recommends that the Ontario Government:

1. Pace the transition to a cleaner, more diversified energy economy to align with the needs of housing development – The buildout of energy infrastructure must proceed in a manner that meets the needs of homes, businesses, and economic investments without unnecessarily inflating energy costs. The transition to clean energy sources must be gradual, guided by real economic needs, not ideological timelines.

2. Ensure the continued viability of the natural gas network to support growth and energy transition – Ontario must maintain and expand its natural gas network to support economic development, particularly in rural and industrial areas.

3. Focus on innovation and the integration of clean fuels within the natural gas system – Ontario should prioritize investments in energy efficiency such as renewable natural gas (RNG), and carbon capture technologies.
