AbitibiBowater will soon be providing more clean power to Northwestern Ontario and adding 56 permanent jobs.
Through an agreement with the Ontario Power Authority (OPA), AbitibiBowater will increase its electricity generation capacity by 40 megawatts, producing enough additional power for 38,000 homes.
The expansion is also supported by Ontario's Forest Sector Prosperity Fund and will add capacity to AbitibiBowater's existing biomass-fuelled combined heat and power project.
“Ontario's Energy Plan is helping our industrial sector stay competitive with programs to encourage businesses to generate clean power, conserve energy and reduce costs,” said Brad Duguid, Minister of Energy, in a press release.
The project is expected to be completed by Jan. 2013.
