Northland Power is forging ahead with its plans to create a pumped-storage hydro facility out of an old mine near Marmora.
Spokesperson John Wright says the announcement last week of the FIT programme review doesn’t apply to his project, so it’s business-as-usual.
Wright says the project will enable the province to store power when there’s a surplus rather than having to sell the surplus electricity to others like Quebec or the United States.
The facility is expected to be the largest of its kind in Ontario.
Construction on the project is not expected to begin until the “permitting process” is complete, which will take at least another year.
