Enbridge appreciates the opportunity to comment on the Ministry of Energy’s (MOE) proposal for the Development of a Clean Energy Credit (CEC) Registry.

Enbridge supports the MOE’s efforts to establish a CEC Registry as it will improve the economics of developing clean energy projects, help power consumers meet their emissions reduction goals, and reduce electricity costs and grid emissions for ratepayers in Ontario.

However, the CEC Registry and any related market can best provide the above benefits if they adhere to principles that are becoming staples of other thriving Environmental Attribute (EA) programs. Namely: avoid double-counting, additionality, interoperability, fairness in determining eligibility, and ongoing consultation.
