Government seeks input on new plan
By Pat Jilesen, Director
Ontario Federation of Agriculture
Energy is a hot topic these days:
What options we have, how much
we pay for it and where it is
available. As the Ontario
government launches its
consultation process to develop the
next Long -Term Energy Plan, the
Ontario Federation of Agriculture
(OFA) is submitting an official
submission with our priorities.
Anyone can contribute through in-
person or online consultations, or
provide a written submission — until
Dec. 17, 2016. Details are provided
at Ontario.ca/energytalks.
The Ministry of Energy is seeking
public input to develop the next
long-term energy plan (LTEP) that
will outline the path for maintaining
a reliable supply of clean, affordable
energy. For agriculture, and the
OFA's 36,000 farm business
members, energy represents a vital
farm input. We depend on affordable
energy to grow our farms,
businesses, communities and the
Ontario economy.
Premier Kathleen Wynne's
challenge for growth in the agri-food
sector also relies on a readily
accessible, consistent supply of
affordable energy. Rural needs are
critical to achieving a successful
long-term plan for all our energy
needs.
The OFA's official submission to
the province's long-term energy plan
will focus on three key priorities,
although there is a lengthy list of
opportunities, possibilities and
considerations that would be
valuable to review:
• Rural Ontario needs access to
natural gas and renewable natural
gas systems to reduce energy costs
and help stimulate the rural
economy.
• Rural Ontario needs a
combination of fuel solutions to
meet rural needs and address climate
change.
• Rural Ontario needs effective
smart metering and smart grid
technology to manage energy
generation, distribution and load
use.
A responsive, reliable energy grid
with access to safe, affordable
energy will help sustain and expand
Ontario's agri-food sector, and help
us meet the Premier's challenge for
growth. The OFA is asking the
Ontario government for a strong
rural focus in the next long-term
energy plan, balanced with
