Rethinking Ontario’s Electricity System with Consumers in Mind

Michael Wyman

No 182, e-briefs from C.D. Howe Institute

Abstract: Ontario electricity consumers will benefit from less risk and lower prices if the province moves to a capacity market for obtaining generation, according to a report from the C.D. Howe Institute. In “Rethinking Ontario’s Electricity System with Consumers in Mind,” author Michael Wyman calls for the province of Ontario to adopt a capacity market, in which generators would receive payments for being available to produce energy, if needed, at some point in the future.
