Welcome to OREC Advocacy.
Our mandate includes representing our membership to those who manage energy and electricity resources in Ontario. We also fight for progressive policies which enable further renewable energy resources to replace Ontario's legacy fossil fuel and nuclear power plants.

Enabling Community-Based Virtual Power Plants across Ontario
Ontario’s electricity demand is expected to grow rapidly over the next 20 years due to the electrification of heating, cooling, transportation, and industry. OREC suggests using Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) to manage this demand. VPPs combine energy resources like solar panels, EVs, batteries, and HVAC systems to store excess electricity when it’s cheap and share it back to the grid during peak demand. With thousands of solar systems coming off government contracts in the next few years, these existing setups can be repurposed for VPPs. OREC is helping homeowners prepare by educating them through programs like the OREx community eXchange and OREC Talks. By working together, we can build a more reliable, affordable, and efficient electricity grid that rewards homeowners for their contributions.
