Resource Portfolios: Development, Integration and Evaluation

Publication - July 31, 2008 - By Renewable Is Doable Group

This report identifies five major flaws in the Ontario Power Authority’s (OPA) planning model and advances alternative green resource portfolios that would meet the terms of the government’s directive at lower financial and environmental cost, and with less risk. The green resource portfolios proposed include a greater emphasis on energy efficiency, renewable energy such as wind and solar power, and Combined Heat and Power. They require no new nuclear resources, and would have lower greenhouse gas emissions than the OPA’s proposed plan.
