The Ontario Electricity Stakeholders Alliance is a diverse group of energy consumers, businesses, producers and distributors from across Ontario. The alliance is made up of industry associations, consumer groups, boards of trade, and leaders from Ontario’s business community.
As a member of the Ontario Electricity Stakeholder’s Alliance, the OEA is actively involved in working to achieve smart electricity decisions for all of Ontario. On November 16, 2017 the OESA launched their Power Framework that includes eight recommendations that provide the roadmap Ontario needs for smart electricity decisions through the following principles:
- Transparency: A plan to restore confidence in an open, accountable system with an engaged Legislature and rules that respect the public’s right to be informed;
- Competition: A commitment to competitive processes that help support lower costs for both government and electricity consumers;
- Objectivity: A commitment to smart electricity decisions informed by rigorous cost-benefit analysis, objective procurement criteria and competitive processes that ensure Ontario ratepayers are getting the best value; and
- Independence: A process where independent agencies like the IESO, OEB and Ontario Electricity Safety Alliance are appropriately resourced to make independent decisions and held accountable by the provincial Legislature.
