Previously the Ontario  Government appointed the Electricity Conservation and Supply Task Force to review and plan Ontario's long term electricity needs. The terms of reference include the development of an action plan to attract new generation and mechanisms to achieve demand side management and energy conservation within the province. 

Twenty  task force members were appointed with various energy affiliations across the province. The combined task force will set out and examine all aspects of the electric energy industry in the province but the development of new sources of supply remains the crucial role for the task force.

Energy Minister announced that CEO of Toronto Hydro, will chair  the task force.

 The Minister has asked for a report  from the task force by the end of the year.
