The WCI Partners reviewed options for continued work on issues related to the electricity sector following their July 21, 2009 announcement concerning implementation of the first jurisdictional deliverer (FJD) approach for regulating emissions associated with imported electricity.  Addressing the point of regulation for electricity was the original purpose of the Electricity Committee, and, with that task largely completed, the Partners considered assigning the remaining electricity issues to other relevant committees.   However, to ensure that critical issues related to the electricity sector receive adequate attention, and in order to continue the involvement of the Electricity Technical Advisory Group, the WCI Partners have elected to maintain a group of staff dedicated to electricity issues.

Under the new structure, electricity issues will be addressed by the WCI Electricity Team.  The Electricity Team will be led by Doug MacCallum, Manager, Energy Markets, Ontario Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure.  Read more about the proposed structure and work of the Team here.
