2019 Achievable Potential Study released
October 17, 2019
The IESO and the Ontario Energy Board have completed the first integrated electricity and natural gas conservation achievable potential study (2019 APS), with the final report now available.
Prepared by Navigant Consulting, the 2019 APS identifies and quantifies energy (electricity and natural gas) and demand savings, greenhouse gas emissions reductions and associated costs from energy-efficiency measures for the period of 2019-2038. The 2019 APS determined that both fuels have significant cost-effective energy-efficiency potential in the near and longer term.
The 2019 APS will be used to inform the development of future energy-efficiency frameworks; program design, implementation and evaluations; and long-term resource planning. Additional details on the 2019 APS stakeholder engagement process are available on the APS engagement webpage.
