Some of these projects will be operational by the end of 2019, while others are coming online mid-2021.
And, between those three rounds of contracts, the province says power will cost between 3.7 and 4.0 cents per kilowatt-hour, weighted, on average.
“You’re trying to go back to the glory days of the fossil fuel industry where there’s a cheaper alternative in front of you.”
