Welcome to the10ENERGYCONFERENCE. Every year, the Ontario Energy Association hosts this forum to bring together the best and brightest from the energy industry, the provincial government, regulators and Ontario’s leading innovators and thinkers.

This year’s conference offers an outstanding array of speakers who I’m confident will inform, engage and challenge us on the many important energy issues facing Ontario. Coming together to share ideas and debate approaches is crucial to ensuring that we develop and enhance Ontario’s energy systems and policies, and help this province remain a competitive and attractive place to do business.

The future of energy is developing and changing at a rapid pace. Energy – where we get it, how we use it, how much we are willing to pay for it and where we site it – are issues that are important to all Ontarians. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that we actively encourage ongoing debate and dia-logue with the public, who are increasingly educated and engaged on these issues. This is a key area of focus for the OEA. This conference offers us a chance to hear different perspectives and expand on our knowledge. It also offers us the opportunity to come together to find ways to make our collective voice stronger.

As one of this year’s conference co-chairs, I hope you will find the 10ENERGYCONFERENCE worthwhile, and that you will take the opportunity to contribute to the energy dialogue. I look forward to seeing you over the next few days!

Welcome to 10ENERGYCONFERENCE – the annual conference of the Ontario Energy Association (OEA). Especially in this, our 10th anniversary year, it’s my pleasure to welcome you on behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of the OEA. In many ways, Niagara Falls is an ideal setting for our conference. Not only does it offer one of the greatest natural wonders of the world during the beautiful fall season, Niagara Falls is also a distinct part of the proud history of energy in this province.

As we gather for our conference this year, we are once again reminded that the work of the OEA been more important. Energy issues are commanding the attention of politicians and regulators like never before. The public has become increasingly engaged in the discourse as energy issues in Ontario have risen to the fore in the past few years.

That’s why the outstanding line-up of speakers and panels set for this conference is particularly timely. The best and brightest of the industry are here. While we can anticipate that a number of differing perspectives will be presented, there’s no doubt that the discussion will provide many insights for you, the thought leaders of the industry. Enjoy reconnecting with old friends and establishing new acquaintances. Most importantly, take advantage of this opportunity.

We are all “Energy” in Ontario and it’s up to us to guide its future.

Thank you to the organizers with the OEA who have contributed time and energy into ensuring the success of this event. It takes many hands and much hard work to make an event of this calibre possible.

Please accept my best wishes for an enjoyable and successful conference.

I am pleased to extend my warmest greetings to everyone attending the Ontario Energy Association’s 10ENERGYCONFERENCE in Niagara Falls.During the twentieth century, access to plentiful and affordable energy transformed our world. Advances in health, education, technology, and transportation have all been made possible by this energy revolution.

Today, Canada is positioned to play an important role in meeting the world’s future energy needs. Our nation offers a stable, democratic source for a broad range of energy solutions, and we are committed to developing our resources in a way that is environmentally responsible.

I am sure that everyone participating in this conference will appreciate the wonderful opportunity to network and discuss strategies for the future of the energy industry. I would like to thank the Ontario Energy Association and the conference sponsors for making this event such a rewarding experience for delegates.

On behalf of the Government of Canada, I offer my best wishes for a memorable and productive meeting. The Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper

Elise Herzig President and CEO Ontario Energy Association

On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure and privilege to welcome you to the 2012 Ontario Energy Association Conference in Niagara Falls.

As described in the conference title – 10ENERGYCONFERENCE – this year marks the tenth anniversary of this annual conference as well as of the OEA. I was pleased to see many of you present to help celebrate our organization’s anniversary at the 1OENERGYGALA we held in June at the Art Gallery of Ontario.

For 10 years now the OEA has served as a vital voice for Ontario’s energy sector, ensuring that government policies related to this industry strike the right balance between the state of the economy, the realities of operating an energy business and the changing needs of the consumer. The OEA has done this well and will continue to play an important role in years ahead.

Our industry continues to undergo tremendous changes as we integrate new energy technologies and process improvements into our operations to gain efficiencies and provide more value to our stakeholders in an economic environment which still has many challenges. Given this, the need for us to be informed and to gain insights at conferences such as these is crucial in our efforts to ensure that Ontario has a secure, reliable and sustainable energy system in the future. I am certain that the speakers and sessions that we have on this year’s conference agenda will provide this and more.

I trust you will enjoy this year’s conference and I look forward to speaking with many of you over the next two days.

Brian Bentz Chair, OEA Board of Directors President and CEO PowerStream

It is a pleasure to welcome you to 10ENERGYCONFERENCE, the OEA’s flagship event that attracts an elite group of current and emerging leaders, decision makers and innovators from across North America. The conference provides you with an opportunity to learn, discuss and debate the critical issues on the minds of the industry and government.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the OEA. As we enter into our next decade, I see a world of opportunity for the OEA to position Ontario’s energy sector as a leader in innovation, investment, regulatory practices and consumer engagement. Our 10ENERGYCONFERENCE will touch upon these issues, and much more, as our dynamic group of speakers share their perspectives, knowledge and insights.

A huge thank you to our generous sponsors, speakers, volunteers, Board of Directors and OEA team without whom the 10ENERGYCONFERENCE would not be possible.

I would like to personally thank Julie Dill, outgoing OEA Chair for her long- standing contribution to the organization. A special thank you to Brian Bentz, who has served since January as our Acting Chair when Julie relocated to the USA.

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with our dynamic Board, who under the vision and leadership of incoming Chair, Brian Bentz and Vice Chair, Steve Baker will position the OEA for its next decade of success.

THEENERGYEQUATIONIn the United States, gas-fired electricity production has soared while coal-fired production has dropped dramatically. This has resulted in a massive decline in carbon output compared to five years ago. In fact, the impact of this change is greater than the total impact of all solar and wind development, yet the change from coal to gas has happened without government subsidies. Is there a lesson there for Ontario or for the rest of the world?

In Ontario, and across much of Canada, we have a history of public ownership of energy and infrastructure assets. Ontario used to own Suncor, and the federal government owned PetroCanada. Many provinces, including ours, still own electricity assets, and municipalities own distributors of electricity, water and sometimes gas. Experience in the rest of the world is mixed, with some public ownership, but lots of investor ownership as well. Is public ownership of these assets still a useful public policy tool, or is it just inertia that keeps things the way they are?

Building new infrastructure – of any kind – has become increasingly challenging. Yet much of Ontario’s infrastructure is ageing, including important transmission lines and nuclear power plants. What can government and industry do together to manage resistance to construction?

Energy is seen as a growth area for jobs and the economy, but homeowners and businesses also want energy to be as cheap as possible. How can we cut costs and become more efficient while at the same time hiring thousands?

Ontario’s energy needs are always evolving, an so is the energy industry. How can Ontario take economic advantage of the new shale gas supplies that are now being explored so close by? What will this mean for Ontario’s relationship with Western Canada, and the pipelines that cross the country?

THEPOLITICSOFENERGYEnergy is playing a big role in the US elections, with shale gas, renewable energy, offshore oil and imports all being subjects of discussion. Sound familiar? What impact will the election outcome have here?

Energy policy is complicated, but politics thrives on 30-second sound bites. What does this mean for the ratepayer, the industry and government? Who are the winners and losers when mixing politics with energy?

Energy, like agriculture, is largely a rural industry but a product consumed by urban areas. Why does rural Ontario like one industry but not the other?

Ontario had minority government in the 70s and 80s, and those decades are seen as times when fresh ideas were introduced, and new policy decisions were made by the governments of the day. Is that happening now?

What role will energy will play in the next provincial election?

THEPOWERPANELHow will the OPA, IESO, Hydro One and OPG cooperate to manage the challenge of surplus baseload generation?

It’s been 13 years since the breakup of Ontario Hydro and the creation of multiple entities plus the market. Are we better off?

Conservation and Demand Management seems to fall into everyone’s mandate. Who’s really in charge?

The Darlington and Bruce B generating stations appear to both need refurbishment at the same time. What does this mean for the security of Ontario’s supply?

Bill 75 calls for consolidation of the OPA and IESO, at least partly to achieve cost savings. But how will transparency and accountability concerns be addressed?
