Ontario is singled out in an electricity regulator’s report warning two-thirds of North America is “at risk of energy shortfalls this summer” should temperatures spike.
With the province in the grip of an early June heat wave in the last few days, the Atlanta-based North American Electric Reliability Corporation says extended refurbishments at nuclear power plants could result in a power pinch if the coming months prove hotter than usual, causing “extreme demand.”
The heavily industrial Windsor-Essex area — where auto giant Stellantis has suspended construction of a massive electric vehicle battery plant while questions over government subsidies are sorted out — may not be able to get “sufficient supply,” adds the non-profit regulator’s summer reliability report.
“Ontario has entered a period during which generation and transmission outages will be increasingly difficult to accommodate … for the foreseeable future.”
Energy Minister Todd Smith tried to downplay concerns after New Democratic Party energy critic Peter Tabuns raised the possibility of brownouts or blackouts before the end of August.
