Ontario Power Generation is moving quickly on the next phase of conversion of its coal-fired generating plant in Atikokan.
Spokesperson Ted Gruetzner says they've put out a call to potential suppliers of the material they want to burn at the plant.
"We're asking suppliers to give us some pricing on about 90-thousand tonnes of fuel," says Gruetzner.
Gruetzner says they hope to have a preferred supplier in place by the end of the year.
The plant's conversion is to take place in 2012.
