JANUARY 20, 2021 Ontario’s Electricity System Needs Annual Planning Outlook (APO) Chuck Farmer, Senior Director, Power System Planning David Devereaux, Sr. Manager, Resource & Planning Assessments
Impacts of COVID-19 on the Electricity System 7
Executive Summary
• Demand has evolved, and while it returned close to pre-COVID levels,
the demand mix of the various sectors is different
• Electricity demand has become even more sensitive to weather
• Consumption from large industrial customers returned to 2019 levels
in September 2020
• Energy consumption in the local commercial and business sectors
show persisting declines of 5-6%
• Residential sector consumption drastically increased due to work-
from-home (5-9% in energy consumption), especially in the summer
due to increased use of residential air conditioning
8
COVID measures and Weekly System Energy 9
Impact on Ontario Energy and Peak Demand
• Demand dropped by more than 10%
during peak COVID-19 closures
• Largest increases in peak (7-10%)
occurred in summer months, due to
increased residential air conditioning
load and changes to industrial incentive
programs (ICI)
• Peaks in electricity consumption and the
amount of electricity consumed during
the fall are close to pre-COVID levels
10Impact on Local Industrial & Commercial Demand
• Consumption in this sector decreased by
20% during closures in March and April
• Rapid increase of 14% in electricity
consumption as a result of provincial
stage 2 and stage 3 re-opening
• This sector was hardest hit in terms of
reductions in electricity consumption
associated with ongoing effects of the
COVID such as business closures and
work-from-home
11Impact on Small Commercial Energy and Peak Demand
• Energy consumption in this sector
decreased by 14% and peak by 23%
during closures in March and April
• System recovery began in Stage 1 and
continued through August
• Energy increased by 12% and peak
by 20% during this period
• Persisting reductions of 2-3% in energy,
due to COVID economic impacts
• Full recovery expected by end of 2022
12Impact on Large Industrial Sector
• Major reductions of 15% in energy
consumption during the two rounds of
closures in March and April of 2020
• Recovered to 2019 consumption levels
by September 2020 and has stayed
constant since
• Suspension of the ICI program on June
26, 2020 led to increased consumption
throughout the summer as seen by the
drastic increase of 35-40% in the
minimum consumption levels
13Impact on Residential Sector Energy & Peak Demand
• Largest increase in peak consumption
was in May (18%), when COVID
measures were strictest
• Significant increase in energy (5-9%)
and peak consumption (by up to 18%)
by the residential sector, associated with
work-from-home
• Increases during months with hot
weather were comparatively larger (8-
9% for energy and 10 – 14% in peak),
due to residential Air Conditioning load
14Annual Planning Outlook (APO) 15
2020 Planning Outlook – Key Findings • In near term, capacity needs are lower than earlier forecast driven by lower demand, nuclear refurbishment, contract expiry, regional needs • In the longer term, needs are driven by increasing demand, contract expiry and the retirement of Pickering NGS • Needs continue to be for capacity, the system is expected to be energy adequate
Planning Scenarios Reflect Role of Pandemic in Power Planning
• To address uncertainty given the nature of the pandemic, the 2020
Annual Planning Outlook (APO) forecasts demand using two scenarios
based on assumptions about the pace of economic recovery during the
outlook period (2022-2040)
• Scenario 1 features an earlier recovery from the pandemic with
demand returning to pre-COVID levels by end of 2022
• Scenario 2 anticipates a more significant economic downturn with
demand recovering more slowly
17Annual Energy Demand Drivers of increased long-term demand include: 1) growth in residential households; 2) growth in agricultural greenhouses; 3) growth in electric vehicles; and 4) decreasing electricity rates 18
Seasonal Peak Demand 19
Committed Summer Effective Capacity
Supply forecast does not assume continued availability of existing resources
20Existing Resources Post-Contract Expiry 21
Uncertainties to be Considered
• Planning assessments consider uncertainty related to weather, resource
performance and timing of resource additions
• These uncertainties are reflected in the planning reserve margins
• Other uncertainties are present that will impact the performance of the
plan and should be considered when making commitments
• Economic conditions, policy decisions, supplier decisions and program
performance are variables to be considered
• They result in changes to demand and to supply
22Options Available to Meet Summer Needs Excludes new resources that may be in development. Continued availability of existing resources will be addressed through the Resource Adequacy engagement. 23
Options Available to Meet Winter Needs Excludes new resources that may be in development. Continued availability of existing resources will be addressed through the Resource Adequacy engagement. 24
Anticipated Transmission Projects 25
Capacity Needs including Locational Requirements
Locational capacity needs shown does not assume continued availability of existing resources
26Energy Needs 27
Surplus Baseload Generation 28
Meeting Future Needs – Resource Adequacy Engagement
• As a result of stakeholder feedback on the limitations of having a one-
size-fits-all procurement mechanism, the IESO will work with
stakeholders through its Resource Adequacy engagement to enable a
framework of competitive mechanisms to meet Ontario’s resource
adequacy needs in the short, medium and long term
• While capacity auctions will meet short-term needs, to keep off-
contract services in the market and procure new capacity, the IESO is
exploring other acquisition tools as part of this engagement – target
capacities for these will be informed by this APO and future editions
29Meeting Future Needs – Resource Adequacy Engagement
• As a result of stakeholder feedback on the limitations of having a one-
size-fits-all procurement mechanism, the IESO will work with
stakeholders through its Resource Adequacy engagement to enable a
framework of competitive mechanisms to meet Ontario’s resource
adequacy needs in the short, medium and long term
• While capacity auctions will meet short-term needs, the IESO is

• Allows participation in the
merchant energy market
Ameresco worked with the IESO to design and build two battery energy
storage systems (BESS) on Newmarket - Tay Power Distribution’s distribution
grid.
The facility absorbs power during periods of excess energy supply and
provides it back to the grid when energy demand is high. The system also
provides on-going grid reliability and stability as more renewable energy
comes on-line in the area.

64Utility Billing Alternatives:
Community Energy Solutions
Utility Billing Alternatives of
Community Energy Storage Systems
1. Consumption and generation data is sent back
via the metering infrastructure into the centralize
billing system.
2. Utility Billing System settles the bill by
calculating the credits earned by the solar system
and applying the divided credits to each
customer.
3. Customer would expect to see a line item
indicating the credit value and reduction to their
total electricity cost.
65Challenges in achieving goals
• For better management of advanced energy solutions at community level
• Need advanced Communication and Control Technology
• Management of Energy Storage at Feeder Level and SCADA
• Need ADMS and DERMS for real-time operation and control (when penetration level
increases)
• Using Energy Storage for Ancillary services
• Dilemma for Utilities – manage fine balance between higher reliability, peak shaving
and ancillary services (voltage and frequency regulation)
• Renewable Generation and Integration into Distribution grid
• Need microgrid setup – projects become expensive
66Challenges in achieving goals
• Turning the utility into a energy management & transactive role
beyond “uptime”
• New Approach to Regulatory approvals than traditional wired
applications
• O&M Cost and dealing with downtime
• Traditional utility workforce – training
67FERC Order No.: 2222
• This rule enables DERs to participate alongside traditional
resources in the regional organized wholesale markets through
aggregations
• It will help provide a variety of benefits including:
• lower costs for consumers through enhanced competition
• more grid flexibility
• Resilience
• more innovation within the electric power industry
• This rule allows several sources of distributed electricity to
aggregate in order to satisfy minimum size and performance
requirements that each may not be able to meet individually.
68Strengthening Communities Through
Energy Choices - A New Paradigm:
• A customer/community, will go from having very minimal
control of their energy bill to total control of their energy
bill
• That’s the (r)evolution
• Customer/Community benefits will help driving policies
