(Left: Ontario Power Generation photo)Ontario Power Generation says its still in the early stages of seeking potential suppliers of wood-based biomass fuel for its generating station in Atikokan.
OPG sought requests back in March and senior vice-president Bruce Boland says there was considerable interest.
"We're going through them at the present time," says Boland. "We're at the beginning of the process. This would then lead to a review and subsequent processes would be a more formalized process ultimately and potentially leading to a commercial agreement."
Boland says they are still on target to convert the coal-fired plant by 2012.
