end, OSEA retains a voice as an intervenor at
the Ontario Energy Board, where we are very
active. We also want to reorient OSEA though,
to focus on delivering sustainable energy to
Northern Ontario communities and large in-
dustrial partners like mines, who presently
use primarily dirty diesel solutions for energy
in both “off grid” and “off pipe” areas of the
province.”
Goldberger says finding sustainable ener-
gy solutions to accelerate the end of using
diesel energy in First Nations communities is
another area of promise. Finally, and impor-
tantly, OSEA wants to develop a new strategy
to help export Ontario based sustainable en-
ergy products and services to the rest of the
world. He went on to say, “There resides in
Ontario a huge pool of experts in sustainable
development, engineers, architects, legal sup-
port and project execution know-how, and it
would be of value to assist them in opening
new markets.”
Back home, OSEA advocates for northern com-
munities and First Nations, and for sustainable
export business opportunities, in addition
to advancing energy sustainability province
wide. “OSEA’s Board is highly competent and
technology neutral, with specific knowledge
“The main
opportunity remaining now,
beyond further electrification of
transport and buildings, is to support the
export of Ontario-based knowledge in these
technologies and project services.”
