The Ontario Power Authority has awarded two contracts for biomass for the Atikokan Generating Station.
Atikokan Renewable Fuels will supply 45-thousand tonnes of biomass wood pellets.
Resolute Forest Products will provide an additional 45-thousand tons.
The Authority says over 150 new jobs will be created through the wood pellet supply.
As part of that announcement, Resolute is spending $10-million to build a new wood pellet plant in Thunder Bay.
