Well done Minister..
I've noted before this project was not intelligent - converting a plant that operates very infrequently with coal to one that runs infrequently on gas.
The units are sized such that the appropriate conversion would allow co-firing of the units with biomass and coal.
Ontario’s Liberal government has suspended plans for another natural gas-fired power plant — this one in Thunder Bay.The Entire Article Can be Read at the Toronto Star:
But energy minister Chris Bentley says halting the project could save the province close to $400 million, rather than costing money for cancelation.
That’s because the plant in question, which now burns coal, belongs to government-owned Ontario Power Generation. Unlike the cancellation of power plants in Oakville and Mississauga, there are no private developers to pay off.
