As you may be aware, the Ontario Power Authority has identified the need for a substantial amount of natural gas-fired peaking electricity generating capacity in their Integrated Power System Plan. The OPA also noted that the Northern York Region is an important location for part of this capacity because of the need to enhance the reliability of electricity supply to the area. Our Team'at EPCOR recently announced our participation in the OPA's Request for Proposals to build the power plant required to provide peaking electricity capacity in this region. Upon further review, EPCOR has decided not to proceed with the proposal in East Gwillimbury due to timing and other competing commercial interests.
