Ontario aiming to become energy superpower, energy minister says | CBC News
Briefly

Stephen Lecce articulates that Ontario's electricity strategy aims not only to meet a projected 75% increase in demand but also to become a leader in energy exports.
In outlining the province's energy future, Lecce emphasizes the necessity for integrating diverse generation methods: prioritizing nuclear and hydro while utilizing natural gas for reliability during peak loads.
The Ontario government has taken pride in its clean energy profile, asserting that with 94% emissions-free capacity in 2021, the current 87% can still support the transition towards widespread electrification.
Lecce highlights that Ontario is already a net exporter of clean energy and envisions scaling this up, aligning energy strategies with job creation and revenue generation for the province.
