Introduction

On Tuesday November 23, 2010 the Ontario Minster of Energy, Brad Duguid, released the government's Long-Term Energy Plan (LTEP) and Supply Mix Directive (Directive) after several weeks of consultation with consumer and industry stakeholders. The Directive has now been posted on the EBR Registry (ERB Registry Number 011-1701) for a 45 day comment and review period which ends January 7, 2011. Once the Directive is finalized, it will be sent to the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) to enable the completion of the LTEP. However, the government will not wait for the LTEP to be approved by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) and has indicated that it will issue directives to the OPA and the OEB to move forward immediately with the LTEP.
