Smart Grid Forum - Corporate Partners

To complement the work of the Ontario Smart Grid Forum, a committee of private sector interests in the smart grid space was created by the Forum to provide advice, support and insight. The Corporate Partners Committee helps identify the practical barriers to implementation and proposing constructive, pragmatic, as well as cost and time effective solutions for consideration by the Smart Grid Forum. The Ontario Energy Association (OEA) provides administrative support to the Committee on behalf of the Forum.
