OSEA is Ontarios lead
advocate, facilitator and
catalyst for sector
transformation and the
transition to a more
sustainable energy economy.

We are championing policy
and regulatory change for a
more sustainable society
powered, heated, cooled and
transported by a portfolio of
sustainable energy.

FIGURE 5: BUILDING A CLEANER ELECTRICITY SYSTEM
Coal Free
The Ontario government is committed to improving the health of Ontarians and
fighting climate change. Coal-fired plants have been the single largest source
of greenhouse gas emissions in the province and among the largest emitters
of smog-causing pollutants. Ontarios reliance on coal-fired generation shot
up 127 per cent from 1995-2003, significantly polluting the provinces air.
During that period Ontario also relied on importing coal-fired power from
the United States. An Ontario study found the health and environmental costs
of coal at $3 billion annually (Cost Benefit Analysis: Replacing Ontarios
Coal-Fired Electricity Generation, April 2005).
Since 2003, the government has reduced the use of dirty coal-fred plants by
70 per cent. Eliminating coal-fired electricity generation will account for the
majority of Ontarios greenhouse gas reduction target by 2014 the equivalent
of taking 7 million cars of the road.
FIGURE 4:
CONTRAST BETWEEN GENERATION AND INSTALLED CAPACITY
Selecting a supply mix and investment in supply is a matter of choices and
trade-offs. A variety of power supply sources some designed for baseload
requirements, some designed for meeting peak requirements is superior to
relying heavily on only one source. For this long-term plan the government has
considered environmental, economic, health, social and cost implications to
come up with the best possible supply mix.
This improved supply mix will be cleaner, sustainable, modern and reliable.
It phases out coal-fred generation at a faster pace, it modernizes Ontarios
nuclear feet, it includes more renewables, it maximizes hydroelectric power
over the near term, and it advances Ontarios conservation goals.
By 2030, Ontario will have completely eliminated coal as a generation source and
will have also increased wind, solar and bioenergy from less than one per cent
of generation capacity in 2003 to almost 13 per cent. To ensure reliability, the
strategic use of natural gas will be required to complement renewable generation.
Nuclear will continue to supply about 50 per cent of Ontarios electricity needs.
The following chapter will include a review of the various components of Ontarios
electricity supply:
- Coal
- Nuclear
- Penewables: Hydroelectrlc
- Penewables: wlnd, Solar and 8loenergy
- Natural gas
- Comblned Heat and Power (CHP)
Ontarios electricity transition attracted
more than 2.4 trillion in investment
