Green Energy Act:

The government is serious about eliminating coal-fired power by 2014.

The Green Energy and Green Economy Act was introduced into the Ontario Legislature on Feb. 23, 2009.
Over 50,000 jobs in the next three years are expected to result from implementation of the Green Energy Act.
Canada’s two largest wind farms are located in Ontario and by the end of 2009, nearly 1,200 megawatts of wind capacity will be on-line, enough to power almost 325,000 homes.
Investments in new renewable energy projects already in place or under construction in Ontario total about $4 billion.
The Green Energy Act is designed to build on the McGuinty government’s earlier initiatives on the province’s power supply, including a plan to eliminate coal-fired power by 2014, the single largest climate change initiative in Canada.
