Regional Electricity Planning - Renfrew

The third cycle of regional electricity planning for the Renfrew region is underway to ensure a reliable supply of electricity, and to support local growth and economic development.

Regional electricity plans take a 20-year outlook on electrical regions in the province, and consider wires and non-wire alternatives to meet future electricity needs. This engagement initiative will provide interested parties with an opportunity to offer input for consideration into the elements of an Integrated Regional Resource Plan (IRRP), anticipated to be completed in 2027, that assesses and recommends a cost-effective mix of resources, infrastructure, and actions needed for Renfrew to maintain reliability and support growth.

Interested parties that are invited to participate in this engagement initiative may include but are not limited to:

• The towns of Arnprior, Deep River, Laurentian Hills, Petawawa and Renfrew. As well as the townships of Admaston/Bromley, Bonnechere Valley, Brudenell, Lyndoch and Raglan, Greater Madawaska, Head, Clara and Maria Horton, Killaloe, Hagarty and Richards, Laurentian Valley, Madawaska Valley, McNab/Braeside, North Algona Wilberforce and Whitewater Region; as well as the City of Pembroke.
