Stakeholder comments on proposed EPS amendments - ERO 025-0394
Three comments on MECP EPS program proposed changes for voluntary participants exit path:

1. Facilities with paid in allocation amounts should continue to have access to those paid in funds after exit from the EPS program.
Rationale - Overall goal to reduce Ontario GHG emissions whether registered to EPS or not.

2. Exiting voluntary participants Q1 2025 GHG Emission Verification can be completed by a verifier regardless of the number of previous verification years completed by the same verifier.
Rationale - Unnecessary resources required to use a new verifier on a partial reporting year verification.

3. What is the justification for the 5-year re-registration period?
Rationale - 1 to 2 years would be more appropriate for voluntary re-registration.
