The Ontario Power Authority would be able to sign long-term contracts.TransAlta is reported to be interested in bidding for a contract, based on capacity from a new unit operating in Sarnia since last year. More time will likely be needed by the government to gauge whether investors in generation feel comfortable enough with the conditions governing the market in order to make new investments. The primary concern of developers and companies such as Ontario Power Generation was that regulated rates have not reflected the cost of production.
