I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) The
efficient mix of capacity should provide reliable, secure supply to meet
customer demand at the lowest cost. An efficient mix of capacity should include
demand-side management and renewables if they are the most cost-effective way
of servicing an aspect of customer demand.
