The export of public power has continues to generate big cash for Ontario's coffers this year.
The Ministry of Energy reported Dec. 8 that Ontario collected more than $16 million in November by exporting electricity to other states and provinces, bringing the total net export revenues for the year to nearly $264 million.
Ontario's transmission grid is connected to Manitoba, Quebec, New York, Michigan and Minnesota.
The ministry said since 2006, the electricity market has generated $1.8 billion through net exports compared to 2002 and 2003 when Ontario paid $900 million to import power.
