Ontario Expands Largest Competitive Energy Procurement in Province’s

  • Ontario’s electricity demand is forecasted to grow by 75 per cent by 2050, equivalent to powering four and a half cities the size of Toronto.
  • After announcing three new sites for net-new energy generation, including nuclear, our government is taking another significant step forward to secure our affordable energy future.
  • That is why our government is increasing Canada’s largest energy procurement by 50 per cent—a massive increase—to leave no stone unturned in meeting soaring energy demand.
  • Under Ontario’s plan, we will increase from 5,000 MW to 7,500 MW, leveraging an all-of-the-above approach to energy generation.
  • While the Liberals made short-sighted decisions based on ideology that cost families, our government will always prioritize affordable options for our families and businesses.
  • Our policy requires local community support, protects prime agricultural land, and promotes Indigenous economic partnerships.
  • While the Liberals focus on costly carbon taxes that drive up energy bills, our PC government is delivering clean, reliable, and affordable energy for the people of Ontario.
