7 · OAKVILLE BEAVER Saturday, April 11, 2009 TransCanada unveiling gas-powered generator plans April 14 An open house is being held Tuesday, April 14, to hear details about a 900megawatt natural gas-fueled electricity generation facility that may be coming to town. The event is being hosted by TransCanada, one of four companies involved in a competitive bid to carry out the project. The other companies engaged in this struggle include Invenergy Canada Development Partnership, Northland Power Inc. and Sithe Global Power Southdown ULC. To date, no bid has been accepted by the Ontario Power Authority (OPA), however, TransCanada is eager to share its vision. If successful, the Oakville Generating Station (OGS) will be located on industrial land on the south side of Royal Windsor Drive just east the South Service Road in Oakville. Once established, the OGS is expected provide enough power to meet the energy needs of 360,000 homes throughout the Southwestern GTA. Those interested in hearing more about these studies or the proposed OGS will have the opportunity to talk with project team members and environmental consultants at the open house. The open house is from 4-8 p.m. at the Holiday Inn, located at 590 Argus Rd. The OPA is scheduled to award the contract for the building of the facility in July 2009 with the project expected to be complete by December 2013. Other sites being considered for the project by the other companies are in nearby southern Mississauga.
