About this Bill

TL;DR

  • Expands electricity generation capacity through new supply contracts
  • Restructures regulation and oversight of public utilities
  • Procurement transparency and public accountability concerns raised
  • Aims to meet growing electricity demand from industry and electrification

Restructures Ontario's electricity sector to expand generation capacity, streamline utility regulation, and enable new long-term supply contracts. Amends the Electricity Act and related statutes to facilitate major energy investments in support of growing industrial and residential demand.

Critics have raised concerns about procurement transparency and the reduced public accountability of newly structured energy utilities. The government argues that expanding clean and reliable electricity supply is essential to meeting demand growth driven by electrification, population growth, and new industries like data centres.

▸ Formal title

An Act to make statutory amendments respecting the transfer of jurisdiction within The Regional Municipality of Peel and the appointment of Deputy Provincial Land and Development Facilitators.
