What the “Grids” Actually Mean for SMB Ontario
Ontario no longer operates as a single grid, yet most businesses still plan as if it does.
Why this matters now
Public programs increasingly expect small and medium enterprises to electrify, decarbonize, and invest — often without understanding how network structure affects cost, timing, and feasibility.
Working Problem
How can OECA articulate the practical meaning of Ontario’s multiple overlapping grids, and translate that complexity into usable guidance for SMB investment decisions?
Session Outcome
