Organization Profile
The restructuring of the energy industry in Ontario, first in the natural gas sector, and then in the electricity sector, created an important need for increased communications, dialogue, and networking opportunities. The Ontario Energy Network (OEN) was formed for this very purpose. The “OEN” is dedicated to providing networking activities and inter-jurisdictional information for all energy industry segments with a commitment to providing significant strategic networking benefits to all stakeholders.
Our mission is “to provide networking opportunities in support of the leaders of the energy industry in Ontario”.
