Description

Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk’s annual report concluded that Ontarians paid $9.2 billion more than necessary for energy between 2006 and 2014 largely due to overpriced green energy, poor government planning, and unreliable service from Hydro One. Ontarians are also on track to spend an additional $133 billion by 2032 in global adjustment fees, due to guaranteed contracts with private generators not subject to Ontario Energy Board regulation. With the Ministry of Energy and the Independent Electricity System Operator engaging in long term energy planning, we found that this would be an opportune moment to discuss the path Ontario is taking when it comes to energy policy.

Join us in this conversation as we hear from leading experts on the future of energy in Ontario. This event will be recorded and be aired on CIUT 89.5FM.

This event is sponsered by Beyond the Headlines, CIUT 89.5FM, the Institute for Sustainable Energy, Mowat Energy and The School of Public Policy and Governance

A light lunch will be provided
