PowerFair 2005

PowerFair will focus on the interregional Ontario power market where legislation is unfolding that will create a new "hybrid" power market that will retain elements of deregulation and competition but re-introduce regulated generation assets, markets and prices. PowerFair 2005 will examine the changes that are already here, outline what's next and explain what it all means. The conference will provide you with the absolute latest information and insights with presentations from individuals directly involved in legislating, planning and implementing the rules and regulations that will shape the future of the provincial power market and determine the course of action you need to take.
