The projects were delivered on time and on budget under Ontario Independent Electricity System Operator’s (IESO’s) Expedited Long-Term 1 procurement, Alectra Energy said. All three sites are now operational under 20-year contracts with the IESO, awarded to the companies three years ago.

The Arlen 20-MW/80-MWh system is located in the city of Guelph, southwestern Ontario, while the city of Vaughan, north of Toronto, has become home to the 40-MW/160-MWh Vaughan 3 and 20-MW/80-MWh Vaughan 1E facilities.
