15 Ontario Energy Demand Potential Surplus Energy Supply to exceed demand until 2020

Future of DR in Ontario Do we need DR in a surplus supply environment? Long Term Energy Plan calls for 7,100MW of demand reduction by 2030 Energy efficiency (residential and C&I) Building code updates and standards for appliances and products Demand response programs to help reduce peak demand Time-Of-Use rates Move to a more robust intelligent load management

What does a changing supply mix impact? Regulation Operating Reserve Ramping & Load Following Potential Surplus Energy 17 Opportunities for DR in a surplus supply

Conclusion Ontario a NA leader in smart grid and CDM Supply surplus and soft demand is a detractor to DR DR needs to have a long-term, consistent commitment Evolution to intelligent load management which adds operating flexibility to traditional peak load management.
