The Pembina Institute provided comments on the Ontario Energy Board’s (OEB) staff Discussion Paper on the Board’s approach to the review of the Ontario Power Authority’s (OPA), Integrated Power System Plan (IPSP).

The Board staff paper addresses a number of important issues with respect to the OEB’s review of the IPSP. Our comments are focused on four aspects of the paper:
1. Scope of Review
2. Nature and Scope of a potential OEB Decision Regarding the IPSP.
3. Definition of the criteria by which the board would review the IPSP
4. Approach to the assessment of consideration of safety, ‘environmental sustainability’ and environmental protection in the IPSP.
