Hydroelectric Program Development & Assessment - Small Hydro The IESO will Inform stakeholders on the design of a new program relating to re-contracting small hydroelectric facilities. This is part of the Minister of Energy’s ask under the Resource Adequacy Framework to explore ways to allow small hydroelectric facilities to continue operating beyond the expiry of their existing Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), to ensure the capacity from these facilities continues to contribute to Ontario’s resource adequacy. Targeted discussions with eligible facilities are underway and highlights will be shared during the session. An introduction of key design concepts and principles of the program will be discussed and stakeholders will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss considerations going forward.
