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.
