This proposed change…

This proposed change represents a tremendous opportunity for Ontario businesses. We applaud the direction that this amendment takes us.

Many businesses require pathways to emissions reductions (e.g. to meet supply chain requirements or internal commitments) and this opens up a new and efficient way to achieve that.

Many other businesses have great places for renewable energy projects, but have no offtaker for the electricity - this amendment solves that as well.

Where the proposed amendment falls short is that it leaves out most electricity consumers.

We suggest that the proposed amendment be expanded to include Class B, small business and residential customers also - so that these businesses and individuals have access to the same opportunities that the larger electricity consumers do.
