TORONTO, Oct. 20, 2015 /CNW/ - Earlier this year, a regional electricity plan was released for Central Toronto, which identifies ways to help ensure a reliable supply of electricity to the city for the future. Toronto Hydro, Hydro One Networks Inc., in conjunction with the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), is now seeking to establish a Local Advisory Committee (LAC) to provide input on the implementation of the 25-year electricity plan.
The LAC will provide advice on the development of the plan options, including innovative solutions that will address Toronto's future electricity needs. The formation of the LAC is an important part of the regional planning process because this type of engagement helps electricity planners understand community preferences and it raises awareness about local electricity planning happening in Ontario. LACs can also provide an avenue to have a broader energy dialogue and act as a bridge between the five-year regional planning cycles.
The LAC nomination deadline is Friday, November 13, 2015 at midnight and the first meeting will be held in Q1 2016. To learn how to nominate yourself or an individual, or to review the Terms of Reference, please visit www.ieso.ca/LAC
A webinar from May 2015 reviewed the plan and discussed next steps in the development of longer-term options. An archive of the webinar can be found online by visiting: http://www.meetview.com/ieso20150521/
