The dataset contains scenario analysis results from an independent whole-economy energy modelling study commissioned by Ontario's Ministry of Energy and Mines. It provides data on potential impacts of electrification and changing consumer energy demand across Ontario's economy up to 2050.

Use Cases

• Forecasting energy demand impacts based on electrification scenarios mentioned in the description
• Evaluating cost-effective pathways for meeting Ontario's energy needs up to 2050
• Modeling whole-economy energy sector impacts based on the holistic study view
• Comparing independent advisory scenarios for government energy policy consideration

Strengths

• Data tables support a study covering a long-term horizon up to 2050
• Study conducted via an open competitive procurement by commissioned consultants
• Final report is available in English with detailed modelling approach documentation

Limitations
