Parry Sound-Muskoka Regional Planning Process and Timeline ç 8
Recap: Regional Engagements in Fall 2015 • Should consider both permanent and seasonal population Demand Forecast & • 1% annual growth in electricity demand over 20 years may be too high Local Development • Growing First Nations communities (as much as 10% annually) • Outages in remote areas can last several days Reliability Concerns • Reliability concern and high electricity prices make it difficult to attract businesses • Opportunities for hydroelectric throughout region Potential for • Potential for biogas at regional landfill site Community-Based • Concerns regarding siting of new electricity infrastructure Solutions • Large volumes of requests for solar contracts • Consider coordinating meetings between municipalities, Métis, local utilities, and First Nations communities • Parry Sound-Muskoka is distinct from Barrie/Innisfil and should have a separate Community Local Advisory Committee (LAC) Engagement • First Nations need to have their voices heard • Engagement needs to be genuine. Treaty and Aboriginal Rights and Traditional Lands need to be respected. 9 9

Scope of Regional Electricity Planning A process for identifying and meeting electricity needs for a region Carried out by local utilities, transmitter and the IESO (“Technical Working - Group”) - Revisit at a minimum every five years Key Outcomes - A 20-Year Electricity Plan - Work with communities to understand the electricity needs and local priorities - Identify need for infrastructure, generation, conservation programs and/or innovative solutions - Layout a near-term implementation plan and long-term roadmap Project-related considerations are beyond the scope of regional planning. Projects identified in the plan will still need to consider, as part of the development process: - Project details/specifications and siting/routing - Approval processes (e.g. environmental assessment, regulatory approval) - Project-Level Stakeholder and Community Engagement - Consultation with Indigenous peoples - Project Funding and Cost-Allocation 13

Local Development & Electricity Requirements • Winter-peaking region - Peak Demand: ~ 500 MW • Primarily residential and commercial - Growing First Nation communities • Local Economic Activities - Tourism and Recreation - Construction - Retail - Health & Social Services - Manufacturing • Slower growth in the manufacturing sector since the 2008/2009 economic downturn 16
Developing 20-Year Planning Forecast Planning Forecast 17
Planning Forecast Planning Forecast includes the peak demand impact of conservation efforts and distributed generation Conservation and embedded generation is expected to reduce the electricity demand by about 35 MW over ç the planning period (about 25% of demand growth) 18
Local Generation A number of small-scale hydroelectric generation ( Installed capacity 27 MW (Hydroelectric) Growing interests in the development of distributed generation (e.g. Combined Heat and Power (CHP), Solar, Hydro) Installed Capacity 95 MW (Solar & CHP) Potential large-scale wind development ç 19
Transmission and Distribution Infrastructure Note: This area is also supplied by 44kV sub-transmission and low voltage distribution system, which is owned and operated by 7 local distribution companies. ç (Lakeland Power, Midland PUC, Newmarket-Tay Power, Orillia Power, Powerstream, Veridian Connections , Hydro One distribution ) 20
