The 400MW York Energy Centre power plant will be commissioned in the second quarter of 2012.
This plant will supply power during times of peak demand and provide critical grid support that assists the independent electric system operator in meeting North American grid reliability standards.
Pristine Power president and CEO Jeffry Myers said that the York Energy Centre will play a key role in addressing the need for quick-response peaking generation identified by the Ontario Power Authority for the northern York region, and reducing grid reliance on coal-fired generating capacity.
Pristine Power is the parent company of York Energy Center.
