More Hydro Projects Planned

Xeneca Power Corporation is hoping to move ahead with eleven hydro projects in northwestern Ontario over the next couple of year.

The company was given approval for 19 projects earlier this month, but spokesperson Mark Holmes says they still have a few hurdles to cross others can proceed.

"It appears to have paid off quite well," says Holmes, "in terms of the number of projects we have going forward. As we go through these economic connection tests and the revamp of the Ontario power grid occurs over the next few years, I'm sure several more of those projects will come on stream."

The company is planning two projects in the Rainy River district.
