The Impact of the Long-Term Energy Plan on Solar Energy in Ontario

On November 23, 2010, the Government of Ontario released its Long-Term Energy Plan (LTEP). The document contains the government’s proposal for meeting energy demand in Ontario over the next 20 years (2010-2030). More significantly for those in the renewable energy industry, the document provides a clear goal for power generated by solar, wind, and bioenergy (renewables).

ClearSky Advisors has reviewed the LTEP and the potential impact it will have on the renewable energy industry in general and solar PV in particular. Specifically, our analysis has focused on understand both immediate and long-term impacts on the solar PV market and how it affects our clients.

Further details about the impact of the LTEP is only available for subscribers to our Ontario Market Access Service. Please contact us if you are interested in more details about the service.
