Ontario has decisively advanced its clean energy agenda, finalizing contracts for 14 new renewable power projects through its largest competitive procurement to date. The announcement on April 9, 2026, confirms a significant expansion of the province’s green electricity supply, primarily through solar power, to meet rising energy demands.
The successful bids consist of 12 solar and two wind energy projects, which will collectively inject over 1,300 megawatts (MW) of new capacity into the provincial grid. This substantial addition is projected to generate 3 terawatt-hours (TWh) of clean electricity annually—an amount sufficient to power approximately 350,000 homes. This initiative is a core component of the Independent Electricity System Operator’s (IESO) Second Long-Term (LT2) procurement process, designed to secure a reliable power supply for Ontario’s growing economy and accelerating electrification efforts.
This strategic investment addresses the province’s escalating need for electricity, fueled by strong economic growth and the shift toward electric vehicles and industrial processes. By leveraging a competitive bidding process, Ontario is ensuring that this new generation is both cost-effective and aligned with its long-term decarbonization objectives.
The move supports Ontario’s “all-of-the-above” energy strategy, which emphasizes a diverse and resilient mix of power sources. For comprehensive details on the province’s energy planning and procurement initiatives, stakeholders can visit the official IESO website.
