Ford government set to expand gas power as Windsor blesses new project
Wrong direction or not, that is where the province is heading — at least in the short term.
An October directive issued by the Ford government ordered IESO to speed up its process, procuring gas power from companies that “are able to commit to achieving commercial operation as soon as possible.”“It’s very alarming that we’re seeing these proposals popping up, and that’s because the Ontario government is pushing for new gas generation,” Lana Goldberg, Ontario climate program manager at Environmental Defence told Global News.
“We are going to see these proposals come up in other municipalities, possibly in Toronto, Halton Hills, Sarnia, Brampton. And this is the exact opposite direction we should be going in.” The return to new gas power generation for the first time in more than a decade is a temporary setback in Ontario’s plan to completely green the grid, the Ford government said.“What we’re committed to still is a 100-per cent clean grid, but in the meantime to ensure we still have the power that we need … we are going to have some increased natural gas in the short term,” Smith previously told Global News.
