TransCanada said on Wednesday it plans to build a C$1.2 billion ($1.1 billion) natural-gas power plant near Toronto to supply 900 megawatts of electricity to the region as the Ontario government looks to replace aging coal-fired plants.The company, which runs one of North America's largest pipeline networks and operates power plants in Canada and the US, said the Ontario Power Authority has given it a 20-year power supply contract for the planned facility, to be built at Oakville, Ontario, about 25 miles southwest of Toronto, Canada's most populous city.
