Regional
electricity planning in the GTA North Region is underway. This engagement
initiative will provide interested parties with an opportunity to offer input
for consideration during the regional planning process.
Regional
electricity plans take up to a 20-year outlook on every region in the province.
The planning process provides an opportunity for communities to tell the IESO
about anticipated needs and priorities, and to contribute to the development of
the options for meeting this region’s future electricity needs.
The IESO engages with local and regional communities to seek
input to help inform planning activities.
All interested parties are invited to
participate in this engagement initiative and may include but are not limited
to:
Municipalities including York Region,
City of Vaughan, Town of Richmond Hill, City of Markham, Town of Aurora, Town
of Newmarket, Township of King, Town of East Gwillimbury, Town of
