One thing that is currently underworked is the development of appropriate market rules. For many of our competitive markets for electricity, the rules were developed before storage was a twinkle in the eye. The technology is different at this point. Similarly, we have more distributed energy resources that are coming to bear. Facilitating enhanced and updated market rules that make sense is one element. Secondly, there are a number of regulatory barriers in place.
For example, in Ontario there are rules that stipulate that energy storage is paid wholesale charges when it actually generates, but has to pay much higher retail charges when it loads at the least-cost times. It doesn't make sense. It should in fact be the exact opposite. We've been undertaking a number of initiatives to work with the Ontario Energy Board, the Ontario Ministry of Energy, and all regulators, including the Independent Electricity System Operator, to start getting those anachronisms out of the system.
In particular, given the amount of spillage of zero-emission power, we need to up our game, because 7.6 terawatt hours is a huge amount of green, cheap, Canadian electron waste that we should not be incurring. Looking at enhancing intertie capability in accordance with and in coordination with storage, so we can manoeuvre as efficiently and effectively as possible, is very important.
