Ontario electricity system to add 14 new solar, wind projects
The Independent Electricity System Operator says the 14 projects are the province's first large-scale renewable development in more than a decade.
- Ontario's electricity system operator is giving long-term energy generation contracts to 12 new solar and two wind projects, marking the first large-scale renewable development in the province in more than a decade.

- The Independent Electricity System Operator says the prices they secured for the new solar and wind projects are competitive and lower than other weighted average prices for the two renewables.
