Welcome to the Association of Power Producers of Ontario Website

Welcome to APPrO's website, the prime site for electricity generators in Canada. You can find here all kinds of information about power production in Canada, and the range of options for making electricity in the most economic and environmentally-friendly ways available today. You can also use this site to learn more about APPrO and the critical public policy issues we are working on - to ensure there are affordable and sustainable power supplies well into the future. Please visit our membership area for information on how to become a member or our conference site for information on our annual Canadian Power Conference, the leading event of its type in Canada.

 

APPrO was founded in 1986 as the Independent Power Producers' Society of Ontario. The organization has grown to represent over 95% of the Ontario electricity market, more than 30,000 MW of power generation capacity. This site now incorporates the website previously known as "Renewable Energy and Sustainable Energy Systems in Canada."

APPrO releases climate change framework document

 

In response to a number of initiatives from all levels of government, APPrO has released a document setting out principles and considerations for the development of climate change policy in Ontario.

 

“Climate change is one of the most important new factors to enter the policy environment in recent years,” said APPrO President Dave Butters. “It’s important that the perspective of generators be well developed and well understood, since we can offer some of the most effective options for addressing global climate issues.”
