Update on Ontario’s biomass generating stations

Despite recent declines in forestry and mining, there are approximately 25 new mines under development in northwest Ontario, many of which are expected to be in production by 2020. One area – the Ring of Fire – is a massive planned chromite mining and smelting development that is expected to be as significant in terms of economic activity as Alberta’s oil sands.
Consequently, the province is planning two new high capacity 230 KV double-circuit transmission lines: one to parallel the existing 115 KV line to Wawa, and a second line to run northwest from Thunder Bay to areas north of Dryden and eventually to the Ring of Fire.
