Understanding the formation and influence of complementary innovations in large energy technology systems:
The case of urban energy storage in Ontario’s electricity system
Jen Hiscock, Dr. Phil Walsh,30th USAEE /IAEE North American Conference

Overview
• Ontario Context• Research question & problem• Institutional change theories• Commercializing in an evolving industry• Complementarity in institutional change• Applying it to Ontario
Change in Ontario’s Electricity Sector
• Green Energy Act (2009)• Feed-In Tariff program (2010)
– Focus on integrating renewable energy (wind, solar, biomass) into the grid
• Designed with the intent to build a green economy in Ontario, meet environmental targets, and ensure reliable service
• Change environment: resource pressures, politics, social pressures, technical requirements, economic capacityHow do you integrate
urban electricity storage?
How do you commercialize urban electricity storage?
