Continuing COVID-19 Impacts on the Conservation First Framework
November 18, 2021
To help participants with projects under the 2015-2020 Conservation First Framework (CFF), the Minister of Energy has issued a letter to the IESO to signal the government’s intent to consider options to provide relief to eligible projects that may be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
CFF program participants have advised that certain projects continue to face obstacles in meeting the current deadline of December 31, 2021. To mitigate this, options may include allowing the IESO and local distribution companies (LDCs) to extend project completion timelines further. Participants are encouraged to connect with their LDC or IESO business advisor for more information.
