Utilities are already experts at dealing with variability

http://go.ontario-­‐sea.org/GlobalFutures2012  

“Utility experts pointed out that managing variability is nothing new: utilities have contended with variability since the dawn of centralized power networks, although mostly in terms of demand variability rather then supply variability.”

FIGURE 5: BUILDING A CLEANER ELECTRICITY SYSTEM

Coal Free

The Ontario government is committed to improving the health of Ontarians and fighting climate change. Coal-fired plants have been the single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the province and among the largest emitters of smog-causing pollutants. Ontario’s reliance on coal-fired generation shot up 127 per cent from 1995-2003, significantly polluting the province’s air. During that period Ontario also relied on importing coal-fired power from the United States. An Ontario study found the health and environmental costs of coal at $3 billion annually (“Cost Benefit Analysis: Replacing Ontario’s Coal-Fired Electricity Generation,” April 2005).

Since 2003, the government has reduced the use of dirty coal-!red plants by 70 per cent. Eliminating coal-fired electricity generation will account for the majority of Ontario’s greenhouse gas reduction target by 2014 — the equivalent of taking 7 million cars o" the road.

FIGURE 4: CONTRAST BETWEEN GENERATION AND INSTALLED CAPACITY

Selecting a supply mix and investment in supply is a matter of choices and trade-offs. A variety of power supply sources — some designed for baseload requirements, some designed for meeting peak requirements — is superior to relying heavily on only one source. For this long-term plan the government has considered environmental, economic, health, social and cost implications to come up with the best possible supply mix.

This improved supply mix will be cleaner, sustainable, modern and reliable. It phases out coal-!red generation at a faster pace, it modernizes Ontario’s nuclear #eet, it includes more renewables, it maximizes hydroelectric power over the near term, and it advances Ontario’s conservation goals.

By 2030, Ontario will have completely eliminated coal as a generation source and will have also increased wind, solar and bioenergy from less than one per cent of generation capacity in 2003 to almost 13 per cent. To ensure reliability, the strategic use of natural gas will be required to complement renewable generation. Nuclear will continue to supply about 50 per cent of Ontario’s electricity needs.

The following chapter will include a review of the various components of Ontario’s electricity supply:

•  Phase out remaining coal-fired generation (approx. 3,500 MW) •  Up to 7,500 MW of non-hydro renewable generation installed capacity •  Installed wind generation capacity approx. 1,500 MW today •  Surplus Baseload Generation occurring more frequently

•  Embedded generation increasing •  Conservation and Demand Management targets •  Rate increases (approx. 45% by 2014)

•  Coal phase out complete •  Up to 10,700 MW of planned non-hydro renewable generation capacity

•  Existing Bruce and Darlington nuclear units out of service for upgrades; no capacity gap assuming operation of Pickering units extended •  Without extension of Pickering units, capacity gap starts in 2016 •  Capacity gap will start sooner than 2016 if the 10,700 MW target for non-hydro renewables not being met (e.g., attrition)

•  Capacity gap up to 2,400 MW until nuclear units return to service in 2023

FIGURE 5: BUILDING A CLEANER ELECTRICITY SYSTEM

Coal Free

The Ontario government is committed to improving the health of Ontarians and fighting climate change. Coal-fired plants have been the single largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the province and among the largest emitters of smog-causing pollutants. Ontario’s reliance on coal-fired generation shot up 127 per cent from 1995-2003, significantly polluting the province’s air. During that period Ontario also relied on importing coal-fired power from the United States. An Ontario study found the health and environmental costs of coal at $3 billion annually (“Cost Benefit Analysis: Replacing Ontario’s Coal-Fired Electricity Generation,” April 2005).

Since 2003, the government has reduced the use of dirty coal-!red plants by 70 per cent. Eliminating coal-fired electricity generation will account for the majority of Ontario’s greenhouse gas reduction target by 2014 — the equivalent of taking 7 million cars o" the road.

FIGURE 4: CONTRAST BETWEEN GENERATION AND INSTALLED CAPACITY

Selecting a supply mix and investment in supply is a matter of choices and trade-offs. A variety of power supply sources — some designed for baseload requirements, some designed for meeting peak requirements — is superior to relying heavily on only one source. For this long-term plan the government has considered environmental, economic, health, social and cost implications to come up with the best possible supply mix.

This improved supply mix will be cleaner, sustainable, modern and reliable. It phases out coal-!red generation at a faster pace, it modernizes Ontario’s nuclear #eet, it includes more renewables, it maximizes hydroelectric power over the near term, and it advances Ontario’s conservation goals.

By 2030, Ontario will have completely eliminated coal as a generation source and will have also increased wind, solar and bioenergy from less than one per cent of generation capacity in 2003 to almost 13 per cent. To ensure reliability, the strategic use of natural gas will be required to complement renewable generation. Nuclear will continue to supply about 50 per cent of Ontario’s electricity needs.

The following chapter will include a review of the various components of Ontario’s electricity supply:
