Solar Power NWO

Communities across northwestern Ontario are hoping to benefit from a Provincial move to implement 10-new transmission lines creating green energy in Northern Ontario.

President of the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association Anne Krassilowsky says it a great step forward but notes its just the beginning.

Krassilowsky says the 2.3-million dollar investment will help create new jobs in this region.

The Provincial opposition parties claim that it will drive up industrial hydro rates.
