It’s time to get the facts on renewable energy in Ontario.

6/4/2017

 
Featured piece by the Renewable Energy Alliance of Ontario (REAO). REAO is a broad coalition of employers, labour and industry groups (including CanSIA) dedicated to working with the Ontario government to ensure renewable energy continues to play a vital role in Ontario’s energy mix.

Myth vs. Fact

Picture

Myth: High electricity prices are related to the influx of renewable energy technologies.

Fact: The high cost of electricity has little to do with energy costs themselves, and are largely embedded in the service charges billed to consumers. In fact, the introduction of renewable energy technologies will ensure that in the long term, energy costs will stabilize.
Picture

Myth: Ontarians are opposed to investment of renewable energy technologies.

Fact: Public opinion polls show that Ontarians support the provincial government’s renewable energy shift, and are in favour of increased investment in renewable energy technologies.
Picture

Myth: Renewable energy is an economic drag in Ontario.

Fact: Investment in renewable energy technology has resulted in the creation of jobs, and has a positive economic impact for the province and the municipalities that host renewable energy sites. Since 2008, renewable energy projects have invested over $14 billion in Ontario’s economy.
Picture

Myth: Ontario has so much electricity that it pays other jurisdictions to take the excess supply.

Fact: As we move toward the implementation of the Climate Change Action Plan, there is a projected increase in energy demand and Ontario will need to meet this increase in a cost effective and carbon neutral way.

Support Renewable Energy Today

Join REAO in telling the Ontario Government that it’s time to renew its plan for renewable energy.

Visit renewourfuture.ca and take action. Ask the provincial government to renew their commitment to renewable energy by submitting an email to the Minister of Energy, Glenn Thibeault and your local MPP.
