Ontario Power 2015

March 20, 2015

In December 2013, the government of Ontario outlined a vision for the electricity market that has the potential to significantly alter the manner in which energy is procured and dispatched in Canada’s most populous province. “Achieving Balance – Ontario’s Long-Term Energy Plan” attempts to address the delicate equilibrium between supply surplus and demand reduction while planning for a cleaner future that includes controversial new sources of green energy. The success of this vision, or lack thereof, will have ramifications on other governments hoping to meet the dueling challenges of climate change and effective market planning.

MACIG 2025 - Mining in Africa Country Investment Guide

It is said that mining is a patient industry. Current demand projections are not. Demand for minerals deemed ‘critical’ is set to increase almost fourfold by 2030, according to the UN. Demand for nickel, cobalt and lithium is predicted to double, triple and rise ten-fold, respectively, between 2022 and 2050. The world will need to mine more copper between 2018 and 2050 than it has mined throughout history. 2050 is also the deadline to curb emissions before reaching a point of ‘no return.’ The pace of mineral demand and the consequences of not meeting it force the industry to act fast and take more risks. Mining cannot afford to be a patient industry anymore. The scramble for supply drives miners back to geological credentials, and therefore to places like the African Central Copperbelt.
