The views, values, expectations, and ideas of Islanders are vitally important to the outcome of the Prince Edward Island Energy Commission’s work. The commission welcomes comments and suggestions on any and all aspects of our province’s electricity system that may be of concern or interest to you. To provide written comments, please go to the feedback section of this site or simply click the Discussion Paper Feedback button on any page. Consultation will also occur through:

Meetings

To explore specific issues in greater depth throughout the fact finding and consultation phases, the commission will continue to meet with stakeholders including utilities, regulators, government departments, and independent industry specialists.

This is an opportunity for any individuals, groups or organizations to give a 15 minute presentation to the commission in a public setting.
