MESSAGE FROM YOUR
CHAIR
Connect. Collaborate. Innovate. Advances in electricity distribution and evolving consumer needs are creating new challenges and opportunities for local hydro distribution companies, their affiliates and partners. The LDC sector plays an important role in delivering innovative programs and services that provide value to residential, commercial and industrial customers across Ontario. The EDA supports these activities by providing sector-specific policy, targeted advocacy, expert knowledge sharing and peer-to-peer networking opportunities. Through the EDA, LDCs, stakeholders, businesses and partners can connect, collaborate and contribute to a smarter, more efficient and affordable electricity system. In a rapidly changing business environment like ours, opportunities for exchanging ideas and relationship building are increasingly important. Membership in the EDA provides unparalleled access to industry data, market intelligence and valuable tools to make critical connections. Published exclusively for members, the EDA Member Handbook is a vital resource for building connections. The 2019/2020 Member Handbook provides a quick reference that can help you: • learn more about the EDA; • identify key contacts within EDA councils, committees and districts; • connect quickly with industry peers, prospects and potential partners. I encourage you to leverage the 2019/2020 Member Handbook as a valuable communication and business development tool. Keeping the lines of communication open helps us all optimize the success of our business and our sector.
Sincerely,
Gerry Smallegange, Chair

ABOUT THE
EDA
The Electricity Distributors Association (EDA) represents local hydro utilities, the part of our electricity system that is closest to customers. Local hydro utilities are on the front lines of power, and we know that the most important conversations about energy happen around the kitchen table, not the boardroom table. Our customers understand the power of local hydro, and they value the relationship of trust they have built with their local hydro utilities, relying on us to deliver safer, more reliable, and more affordable electricity. The EDA draws together a broad community of LDCs, associations, LDC affiliate companies and commercial enterprises that do business with utilities, providing opportunities for information sharing and collaboration across the sector. The EDA’s dynamic team collaborates with industry and subject-matter experts to support member business success through advocacy, policy analysis and a broad range of opportunities for learning and networking. The EDA’s advocacy activities and member service offerings are guided by a three-year strategic plan and extensive ongoing input from the Board of Directors, committees and councils.
EDA Focus 2018-2020 Remain the trusted source for intelligence and advice regarding the electricity distribution sector.

EDA AWARDS WINNERS 2019
The Conservation Leadership Excellence Award, sponsored by the Independent Electricity System Operator, went to Ottawa River Power, where a single dedicated staffer responsible for conservation program delivery worked closely with customers to help them reduce their bills, while propelling Ottawa River Power to 98.2% of its government-mandated electricity reduction target, two years ahead of schedule.
PUBLIC ELECTRICAL SAFETY EXCELLENCE AWARD
The Public Electrical Safety Excellence Award, sponsored by the Electrical Safety Authority, went to Kitchener-Wilmot Hydro, which partnered with 31 other utilities to develop electrical safety awareness videos to help educate customers.

PUBLIC RELATIONS EXCELLENCE AWARD
The Public Relations Excellence Award, sponsored by NATIONAL Public Relations, went to Hydro Ottawa for its robust crisis communication plan, which employs social media, videography, photography and up-to-the-minute storytelling to keep customers safe, secure and informed. The plan was called into action in a big way in 2018, when six tornadoes caused catastrophic damage that left more than 300,000 capitalregion residents without power.
INNOVATION EXCELLENCE AWARD
Stratford’s Festival Hydro took home the Innovation Excellence Award for constructing and launching six groundbreaking innovation initiatives in 2018. All six programs were designed to facilitate community growth and future development by helping customers better manage their consumption, by optimizing the use of infrastructure and capital assets and by positioning the utility as a forward-thinking enterprise.
