ANR outlines FY27 budget at roughly $300 million; federal tapering drives 12% decline Agency of Natural Resources leaders told the House Appropriations Committee on Feb. 13 that the FY27 proposed budget is "just shy of $300,000,000," with a projected 12% decline from FY26 driven largely by a step‑down of federal one‑time funds; about half the budget is pass‑through grants and loans to municipalities and partners.

IESO Finalizes LT2 Documents, Schedules Webinars IESO Finalizes LT2 Documents, Schedules Webinars July 04, 2025 The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) has officially released the finalized documentation for the second Long-Term Procurement (LT2) initiative, designed to secure electricity generation and storage projects. This release formally initiates the LT2 process, prompting municipalities to consider and determine local support for potential projects ahead of submission deadlines. LT2 is structured around two distinct streams, each with its own timeline. Energy Stream projects, focusing on renewable electricity generation, have a submission deadline of October 16, 2025. Capacity Stream projects, such as battery energy storage facilities, require submissions by December 18, 2025. To assist municipalities in understanding their role, the IESO has distributed a letter to municipal officials outlining the LT2 process and has published a detailed guide outlining the expectations for both municipalities and developers participating in LT2. To further clarify the guidelines, the IESO will hold a webinar on July 10. Additional webinars are planned for municipalities and Indigenous communities, including a dedicated municipal breakout session on July 17. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) previously released Guidance Resources for Electricity Procurements earlier this year, intended to aid municipalities in their decision-making roles during provincial electricity procurements. AMO to Host Webinar on Trade and Tariffs AMO is also organizing a webinar focused on trade and tariffs, addressing their potential impacts. This webinar will cover the Canadian economic outlook, particularly concerning the global trade landscape, and how these broader trends affect Ontario's economy. Discussions will also center on the potential impact of tariffs on the costs associated with municipal infrastructure construction. A question-and-answer session with panelists will follow the presentations. CONTACT: AMO Policy policy@amo.on.ca T 416.971.9856
