NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 11, 2011 Five Ontario electric utilities to partner on solar initiative Pilot project will measure conservation impact of using solar powered attic vents COLLINGWOOD, ON - Five Ontario electricity distribution companies are getting together to partner on an initiative that will test the effectiveness of using solar powered attic vents in helping to reduce the electricity consumption required to cool homes. The announcement was made today at a project launch event on Davis Street in Collingwood where representatives from Callus Power, PowerStream, Orangevillle Hydro, St Thomas Energy, Wasaga Beach Distribution, other key stakeholders and members of the media witnessed the unveiling, on the roof of a new home, two fully-installed solar powered attic vent units that were provided by the project's supplier, International Solar Solutions. A solar powered attic vent, also referred to as a solar powered roof vent, works during the day and has a solar panel which converts energy from the sun into electricity. This electricity operates a motor that drives a fan inside the vent. Attic ventilation is an important aspect in maintaining a healthy energy-efficient home. Venting cools a roof, extends the life of roof materials and helps to reduce the load on air conditioning systems. Callus Power, PowerStream and Wasaga Beach Distribution will operate the pilot in their respective service territories using a combination of installing solar powered attic vents on new houses being built by Devonleigh Homes and retrofitting houses in older subdivisions.

    February 13, 2020 IESO Engagement Independent Electricity System Operator 1600–120 Adelaide Street West Toronto, ON M5H 1T1 To Whom it May Concern: Re: Exploring Expanded DER Participation in the IESO-Administered Markets Part 2: Options and Considerations for Enabling DER Participation On October 17, 2019 the Independent Electricity System Operator (“IESO”) released the first in its series of white papers (the “Paper”) on exploring expanded Distributed Energy Resource (“DER”) participation in the IESO Administered Markets (“IAMs”). The Paper overviewed the ways in which DERs currently participate in the IAM, concluding that only directly participating generators, Demand Response (“DR”) and aggregated non-dispatchable DR are currently able to fully participate. The Paper also examined several barriers that prevent DERs from other types or forms of participation. On January 30, 2020, the IESO hosted a webinar to provide an overview of the next DER white paper and to introduce some of its high-level ideas and options to enhance DER participation that may be explored in the next Paper. The intention of the next Paper will be to include more detailed examination of participation models and options to address barriers identified in the first Paper. The IESO is seeking feedback from stakeholders on the options presented in the webinar in order to determine or guide which should be explored further. Alectra Utilities (“Alectra”) serves over one million customers across 1,800 sq. km of service territory, spanning 17 communities in Ontario, including Alliston, Aurora, Barrie, Beeton, Brampton, Bradford, Guelph, Hamilton, Markham, Mississauga, Penetanguishene, Richmond Hill, Rockford, St. Catharines, Thornton, Tottenham and Vaughan.
