OPA's practice, says Vegh, a former general counsel of
the Ontario Energ y Board, "has been to off er long-term
contracts for renewable power, some as long as 20 years,
which means they are predictable and attractive, particu-
larly to lenders. In contrast, the IESO is more reluctant to
support long-term commitments, with a preference more
like three years, so that's very important for lenders and
developers to understand."

with Ontario Power Generation and former general counsel
of Epcor Utilities in Edmonton, says potentially, there could
be major changes as a result of the appointment by Premier
Wynne of the Premier's Advisory Council on Government
Assets. e Council, chaired by Ed Clark, CEO of TD Bank
