Ontario Power Generation says it's work to convert the coal-fire plant in Atikokan is well underway.
It's to burn biomass fuel by 2013.
C.E.O. Don Mitchell says part of the work includes developing an energy supply agreement and seeking pricing bids for fuel.
"We are excited about the conversion project in Atikokan," says Mitchell. "What we need to do is to establish a solid business case and then negotiate the agreement to proceed."
Mitchell says a number of bids were received in their call from suppliers.
