One-hundred and 84 new contracts for green-energy projects were approved yesterday by the provincial government.
Kenora-Rainy River MPP Howard Hampton suggests many of the projects could be held up because of Canadian content regulations.
"What we're all ready finding is that many of the projects, even though announced, are having trouble sourcing the goods and services to meet the Goods and Services content level, says Hampton.
Four projects in the Rainy River Districts were given the go-ahead yesterday, while several other await approval.
Consumers will also face higher electricity bills as part of an yesterday's plan to create more renewable energy in Ontario.
There will be a one per cent increase or an additional five dollars per month on hydro bills by 2012.
Premier Dalton McGuinty says that's a small price to pay for the creation of clean power and thousands of jobs.
