A new government-commissioned report says Ontario should commit to achieving a clean energy economy by 2050.
An expert panel says in the report that the province should develop related policies and communicate its vision clearly to the public about a transition to electrification.
The report lays out a series of recommendations to the province, including providing clarity on the role of natural gas that should be aligned with a commitment to clean energy.
The panel also says the province should figure out how to find broad support to switch to clean technology such as electric vehicles, energy storage and heat pumps.
Energy Minister Todd Smith established the panel in 2022.
Smith said he will be working with the energy sector to review the report's recommendations.
