A
controversial natural gas-fired plant in St. Clair Township is now able to
generate electricity for the Ontario power market.
On March
21, the Greenfield South Power Corporation generating facility on Oil Springs
Line completed its market registration requirements, said Chuck Farmer,
director of stakeholder and public affairs with Ontario's Independent
Electricity System Operator (IESO.)

“What
that means is it basically met all the requirements to produce electricity in
the Ontario electricity market,” Farmer said.
It will
be able to operate under the company's 20-year contract to supply electricity
to the Independent Electricity System Operator once it meets commercial
operations requirements, Farmer said.
Until
then, it can operate as a “merchant plant,” offering energy into the market,
Farmer said.
