My comments will be brief. The only industrialised nations that have successfully decarbonised have used a combination of hydro and Nuclear energy. I believe that it's important strategically for Ontario to maintain its nuclear and hydro baseload with RE + hydro Québec imports for peaking backed by natural gas. This provides low carbon, low cost, reliable electricity for Ontario's businesses and residents and will provide stability for investment. In order to electrify transportation and space heating more capacity will be required. Even though we have a capacity glut currently if you do the math to move to a low carbon economy we will require more capacity in the 2020's. To meet this I propose to build two new CANDU units at Darlington to replace the lost capacity from the Pickering decommissioning.

Thanks,

Craig Hotrum.
