Published: Oct 5, 2009 By: Marlo Raynolds Marlo Raynolds, Executive Director of the Pembina Institute, congratulates Ontario's Premier McGuinty and the Minister of Energy on the implementation of the Green Energy and Green Economy Act, particularly noting the feed-in-tariff program for renewables. Publication Type: Letters & Formal Submissions, Presentations Topic Area: Renewable is Doable Campaign Published: Jun 3, 2009 By: Renewable Is Doable Group Publication Type: Letters & Formal Submissions, Presentations Topic Area: Renewable is Doable Campaign Published: Apr 21, 2009 By: Cherise Burda, Tim Weis Ontario Bill 150, Green Energy and Green Economy Act, 2009 was tabled at the Legislative Assembly of Ontario on February 23, 2009. Read about the BIll and the expert analysis by the Green Energy Act Alliance. Submissions to the Ontario government standing committee have been made over the month of April, 2009.

Published: Sep 10, 2008 By: Renewable Is Doable Group Publication Type: Letters & Formal Submissions, Presentations Topic Area: Renewable is Doable Campaign Published: Jul 31, 2008 By: Renewable Is Doable Group This report identifies five major flaws in the Ontario Power Authority’s (OPA) planning model and advances alternative green resource portfolios that would meet the terms of the government’s directive at lower financial and environmental cost, and with less risk. The green resource portfolios proposed include a greater emphasis on energy efficiency, renewable energy such as wind and solar power, and Combined Heat and Power. They require no new nuclear resources, and would have lower greenhouse gas emissions than the OPA’s proposed plan. This document is part of a series of publications submitted to the Ontario Energy Board. Publication Type: Letters & Formal Submissions, Presentations Topic Area: Renewable is Doable Campaign Published: Jul 31, 2008 By: Renewable Is Doable Group This report assesses recent cost estimates for new nuclear plants from utilities and investment firms and concludes that that $5000/kW is a reasonable overnight cost, which is double what the number used to compare nuclear costs with other options, including renewable energy. This document is part of a series of publications submitted to the Ontario Energy Board. Publication Type: Letters & Formal Submissions, Presentations Topic Area: Renewable is Doable Campaign Published: Jul 31, 2008 By: Renewable Is Doable Group The development of the Integrated Power System Plan presents Ontario with an unprecedented opportunity to switch from an energy system based on polluting, risky, finite, and in the long run, expensive, fuels, to an energy system that relies on clean, safe, emission-free, abundantly available and cost decreasing, renewable energy sources. This document is part of a series of publications submitted to the Ontario Energy Board. Publication Type: Letters & Formal Submissions, Presentations Topic Area: Renewable is Doable Campaign Published: Jul 31, 2008 By: Renewable Is Doable Group This report assessed the true potential for conservation and energy efficiency in Ontario, which is far above what the Ontario Power Authority has planned. If not corrected, the Plan’s failure to secure all cost-effective conservation opportunities will increase future costs, risks, and harmful environmental impacts. This document is part of a series of publications submitted to the Ontario Energy Board. Publication Type: Letters & Formal Submissions, Presentations Topic Area: Renewable is Doable Campaign Published: Jul 31, 2008 By: Renewable Is Doable Group The proposed IPSP has failed to identify and promote the least cost/lowest pollution approach to providing Ontario’s heat and power, because OPA has not made any attempt to identify the market for Combined Heat and Power (estimated here at 11,400 MW), has ignored the waste energy recycling potential, and has offered no programs that would test either market. This document is part of a series of publications submitted to the Ontario Energy Board. Publication Type: Letters & Formal Submissions, Presentations Topic Area: Renewable is Doable Campaign Published: Jul 31, 2008 By: Renewable Is Doable Group Energy storage systems enable greater amounts of intermittent generation from wind and solar power which can help Ontario transition from a polluting, high risk central generation model to a more decentralized, resilient, renewable system. This document is part of a series of submissions made to the Ontario Energy Board. Publication Type: Letters & Formal Submissions, Presentations Topic Area: Renewable is Doable Campaign Published: Jul 31, 2008 By: Renewable Is Doable Group Ontario Regulation 277/06 requires the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) to ensure due consideration of environmental sustainability in the development of the Integrated Power System Plan. This report assesses the sustainability of the IPSP based on the OPA’s own sustainability framework. This document is part of a series of submissions to the Ontario Energy Board.
