Ontario now has a significant surplus of coal-free electricity. We do not need to wait three more years to finish the coal phase out. Ontario’s
coal-free generation capacity is now 28% greater than the province’s projected peak day demand in the summer of 2011 and 33% greater than its
forecast peak day demand in 2014. As a consequence, we no longer need our dirty coal plants to keep the lights on in Ontario or to ensure a reliable
electricity supply.
