Electricity is the lifeblood of Ontario's economy, and an almost indispensable part of every day life in our province. As Ontarians continue to make more climate-conscious choices and industries invest in innovation to reduce emissions, access to one of the world’s cleanest electricity systems ensures we have a flexible, reliable and clean energy source to achieve our collective efforts to combat climate change. Learn more about how one of the world’s cleanest electricity grids will help grow our green economy and achieve our net-zero emissions goals.
Access to one of the cleanest electric systems in the world will help to support Ontario’s transition to net-zero, but we need a plan to make the most of this invaluable climate change asset — a roadmap that emphasizes how our diverse supply mix can power a reliable, scalable and sustainable energy transition. Bold leadership on this front is needed now more than ever.
Ontario’s energy transition requires an integrated, all-hands-on-deck approach.
Ontario is a world-leader when it comes to sustainable power generation. Energy from Ontario’s nuclear, hydroelectric, biomass, natural gas, wind and solar generation means our system is not only flexible & reliable but 90 per cent emissions free. That's a significant advantage in our collective fight against climate change. Not only will it increase the impact of the climate-conscious decisions Ontarians make every day, but it will also help other emissions-intense sectors of the economy to decarbonize — a critical step in meeting our net-zero emissions goals. See how below.
The balanced supply mix that powers our province ensures companies and consumers will always have access to the clean and reliable electricity we need to accelerate our collective climate change efforts and is the foundation of an innovative, affordable path to net-zero. That’s what #MadeinOntario energy can offer.
Balanced access to nuclear, hydroelectric, biomass, natural gas, wind, and solar generation makes our grid our most reliable asset in our fight against climate change.
Our energy system is one of the cleanest systems in the world – 90% emissions free – and will guide Canada’s journey to net-zero.
Ontario’s clean energy grid means that we can lead Canada as the nation's net-zero innovation leader.
Making significant progress towards reducing Ontario’s overall carbon emissions means reducing emissions across ALL economic sectors, including the industrial, transportation and building sectors, which together accounted for 75% per cent of our province’s total GHG emissions in 2021. See how access to one of the cleanest electricity grids in the world will help drive economy-wide decarbonization and maximize the impact of climate-conscious choices Ontarians make every day.
Choosing electric vehicles is a critical way consumers can support a cleaner climate. The energy mix used to power those vehicles matters.
