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.
