Introduction to the proposed Oakville Generating Station (OGS)

In mid February, TransCanada and Ontario Power Generation (OPG) communicated that we were no longer pursuing their proposed Etobicoke Energy Centre (EEC) project in response to the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Southwest Greater Toronto Area (GTA). 

 

In the following weeks, TransCanada continued to investigate other site options for gas-fuelled facility in response to this RFP.  We would like to advise you that we are now proposing the Oakville Generating Station(OGS) facility. The proposed OGS is to be located on industrial land on the south side of Royal Windsor Drive just east of the Service Road in Oakville.  OPG and Ford are not partners in the proposed OGS.

 

Similar to the process we undertook in January, the OGS project team will be reaching out to interested stakeholders in the coming weeks to provide information about this proposal and seek input into our proposed plans.

 

You may contact our project team by calling 1.866.317.9887 or emailing oakville@transcanada.com. A project website has been developed for this project and we invite you to stay informed about the project by visiting www.transcanada.com/oakville. 

 

If you are interested in receiving further information about this proposal, please reply to this email and request that your contact information be included on our list.

 

 

Thank you,
