In its fifth year of operation, the OPA achieved a number of important goals and passed several key milestones. Solid progress was made toward realizing Ontario’s goal of putting green energy into action.

This report highlights the significant progress towards Ontario’s conservation goals that was made through OPA-funded conservation initiatives implemented in 2008.

In the 2010-2012 business planning period, the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) will continue its efforts to ensure the reliability, sustainability and cost-effectiveness of the province’s electricity system for the benefit of Ontario’s consumers.

As of the second quarter 2010, the OPA had 16,322 megawatts (MW) of electricity supply capacity, based on average contract capacity, under contract. This includes 6,622 MW of renewable energy, 6,700 MW of clean energy, and 3,000 MW of nuclear energy. Within this 16,322 MW of supply capacity, 2,537 MW were procured from existing generating facilities, which required no or minimal new capital investment. The remaining capacity, 13,785 MW, was procured from new development, expansion, redevelopment or refurbishment of existing facilities. This represents over $26.2 billion of new capital investment in generation in the Ontario electricity system since 2005, including approximately $7 billion from the Feed-in Tariff program and $2.6 billion for Lower Mattagami project.

As of June 30, 2009, the OPA had 11,998 megawatts (MW) of electricity supply capacity under contract: 10,579 MW of large-scale electricity generation contracts and 1,419 MW of Renewable Energy Standard Offer Program (RESOP) contracts.

As of March 31, 2009, the OPA had 11,991 megawatts (MW) of electricity supply capacity under contract: 10,579 MW of large-scale electricity generation contracts and 1,412 MW of Renewable Energy Standard Offer Program (RESOP) contracts.

In its fourth year of operation, the OPA achieved a number of important goals and passed several key milestones. Solid progress was made toward realizing Ontario’s goal of a sustainable electricity future.

This report summarizes Ontario's conservation results against the 2007 provincial target and also presents the results of the comprehensive third-party evaluations that were undertaken on six of OPA's programs in 2007.

The Conservation Bureau commissioned a macroeconomic analysis to estimate the potential scale of employment benefits resulting from investments in electricity conservation in Ontario.

As of December 2008, the OPA had 11,559 megawatts (MW) of electricity supply capacity under contract, 1,412 MW of which was contracted through the Renewable Energy Standard Offer Program (RESOP).
