IESO E-LT1 Expansion

As part of the Independent Electricity System Operator’s (IESO’s) Expedited Long Term Reliability Project Request for Proposal (E-LT1 RFP) to competitively procure year-round capacity from dispatchable resources, Under Sun Acres Green Energy is proposing to expand their existing 13.3 MW electricity production facility. The expansion will consist of one (1) additional natural gas fired combined heat and power engine with an electrical output of up to 3.3 MW.
