Advance Conference Program
The next 18 months in the Ontario power business are going to be unlike anything that’s come before. Along with procuring significant amounts of additional
capacity, the sector will be dealing with a set of inter-related issues including renewables integration, SBG, increased volatility, and a restructuring of key
central agencies, all while keeping an eye on the consumer’s ability to shoulder the resulting cost burden. How will the regulators and decision-makers
manage these unprecedented challenges and what are the most strategic responses available to developers and investors in the generation sector?
Join the most influential players and leading thinkers at APPrO 2012 as they grapple with the central question: How to continue to provide the public
with a reliable, clean energy system while respecting the sanctity of contracts and customers’ ability to deal with power costs in challenging times.
• SBG (Surplus Baseload Generation), market
volatility and export policy
• Renewables Integration
• FIT .0 - contract and commercial issues
• Implications of the IESO/OPA merger
• Managing consumer cost
The APPrO 2012 event will address the top issues of the day, including:
