Ontario is taking bold steps to secure a reliable energy future.

Today, the province announced its first-ever Integrated Energy Plan, designed to meet soaring energy demands while reducing costs and emissions. With a generational vision extending to 2050, this plan will ensure that Ontario’s energy grid powers homes, businesses, and growing industries with clean, affordable, and reliable energy.

Association of Consulting Engineering Companies – Ontario (ACEC-Ontario) is pleased to support this initiative, as our Executive Director, Andrew Hurd, was quoted in the release, “Ontario’s energy grid is a critical part of not only our communities, but our competitive economic advantage. Today’s announcement of the first-ever Integrated Energy Plan will provide important momentum and a comprehensive, coordinated energy framework with a generational vision, helping to connect homes and businesses faster through to 2050.

On behalf of ACEC-Ontario’s 140 member companies employing over 27,000 professionals, we congratulate Minister Lecce, Premier Doug Ford and the Ontario Government for their vision and leadership in securing Ontario’s reputation as a leading energy powerhouse in Canada and across North America. We look forward to Engineering Ontario Forward on important initiatives that will benefit communities and industries across the province.”
