The approach toward restructuring electricity markets has differed across Canada as a result of the unique industry and regulatory structures, regional circumstances and issues that face each of the provinces. For example, factors such as anticipated rapid growth in energy consumption and the need to replace aging power generation infrastructure were key in the decision by Alberta to pursue restructuring of its electricity industry in 1996.

Restructuring Canadian Electricity Markets
of McCarthy Tetrault
The approach toward restructuring electricity markets has differed across Canada as a result of the unique industry and regulatory structures, regional circumstances and issues that face each of the provinces. For example, factors such as anticipated rapid growth in energy consumption and the need to replace aging power generation infrastructure were key in the decision by Alberta to pursue restructuring of its electricity industry in 1996. Ontario, by contrast, decided to pursue restructuring of its electricity industry to address, among other things, serious concerns regarding the fiscal and operational performance of Ontario Hydro.
