   Does Ontario really need natural gas?

   • Some local historic context is required here. Ontario is hugely (effectively entirely) reliant on natural gas for its total energy needs (remember, energy is more than just electricity).

   Will Ontario move away from natural gas?

   • (CBC) Ontario's electricity system operator is bringing seven new battery storage projects into the province's grid to support reliability and help eventually move away from natural gas. But in the meantime, the Independent Electricity System Operator also announced more natural gas generation, from expansions and upgrades at existing sites.

   Does Ontario have natural-gas resources?

   • Ontario does have some untapped natural-gas resources of our own, but we overwhelmingly import supplies, as expanding gas tapping would be economically fraught and politically controversial; given the abundance of supply right now, there’s no compelling reason to take on the political and financial cost.

   The amount of new natural gas the IESO says Ontario needs in the next few years is expected to increase emissions by two to four per cent over those previous projections. Chuck Farmer, the IESO's vice-president of planning, conservation and resource adequacy, said the system operator will also look to other solutions to meet electricity supply shor...

   Advocacy group Environmental Defence said electrification is essential, but if the electricity supply isn't clean, Ontario isn't actually decreasing emissions. "Ontario will also lose the interest of businesses which want to use clean electricity, struggle to meet the province's own emissions reduction targets, and will be left with stranded assets...
