The event focuses on assessing energy and electricity modelling capacities and needs in Ontario in an environment of growing uncertainty. Ontario’s energy system is facing converging pressures, including shifting trade relationships, rapid technological change, and the increasing impacts of climate change. In this context, effective planning increasingly depends on how modelling tools, data, and expertise are mobilized across institutions, and how analytical evidence is translated into real-world planning and policy decisions.

The symposium will bring together system planners, policymakers, utilities, academics, and independent analysts for a focused exchange on how modelling capacity in Ontario can evolve to better support future decision-making.

The program features two moderated panels. The first examines modelling practices, needs, and challenges within Ontario’s energy agencies, utilities and planning institutions. The second highlights modelling work from post-secondary institutions and civil society, and explores how independent analysis can complement official planning processes.
