The OPI is participating in the review of the Ontario Long-Term Energy Plan (LTEP) expected to be released in mid-2017. The OPI’s involvement in the development of the LTEP provides the industry with the opportunity to consult with the Government of Ontario on the continuing contribution of the province’s historic oil and natural gas industry to the energy needs and economy of Ontario.
The OPI joined a group of stakeholders at a meeting in London on November 29th hosted by the Ontario Ministry of Energy. A number of reports were presented for discussion including the ministry’s Planning Ontario’s Energy Future, the Independent Electricity System Operator Ontario Planning Outlook and a Fuels Technical Report. Additional submissions on the 2017 Ontario Long-Term Energy Plan can be sent to the Government of Ontario on or before December 16, 2016.
