Gas Draws Aces as Ontario Redeals Energy Hand

摘要

The province of Ontario, Canada's largest electricity market, is reshuffling the deck for how it heats homes and keeps industry humming — and it is increasingly looking like natural gas-fired power will emerge as a big winner. The province is currently figuring out what to use to replace coal-fired capacity, which the Liberal government decided to phase out a few years ago. The last coal-fired plant is scheduled to be shut down next year, the central plank of Ontario's strategy to switch to a greener economy (NGW Jan.28'13).
