So I went and created List of power generating stations in Ontario without realizing this list existed, silly me. However, I have not speedily deleted it because I wanted to coordinate some transfer of info to this list, and then redirect. Key items that I wish to transfer to/change this list:

Wesleyville Generating Station was a planned 2,000-megawatt oil-fired power plant, but was never completed due to the 1973 oil crisis. The original article was re-directed to my list after a PROD, as I had saved the info and transfered it.
Separately listing former/inactive generating stations (e.g. the coal plants, Douglas Point Nuclear Generating Station, and Nuclear Power Demonstration)
Distinguishing co-generation stations. This provides the opportunity to state what they are co-generating for.
Adding some prose and notes, in line with MOS:LIST. Introductory prose can be expanded, a small bit of prose could be added to the beginning of each section (nuclear, thermal etc.), and notes could be added to some individual generating stations.

Just delete yours, and integrate it into this one yourself. "Power station" is not a common Canadian usage; the category names were imposed by British Wikipedians against the norms in the rest of the anglosphere; that term has other meanings in Canada - particularly substations but not them alone; a few powerhouses are called "power stations", but only very few. The normal Canadian term, found on the names of the various power plants, is "generating station", likewise on their corporate websites; you should do research both inside Wikipedia and out before presuming to start an article; how could you think that such an article didn't exist. Did you not think to look in the category on these (which is, gaaagh Category:Power stations in Ontario, as if it were Kent or Essex just because we used to be part of the Empire. Those categories need revisiting, so that the article titles are followed, instead of diktats from linguistic imperialists in the Old Country seeking to homogenize English in their own image/pretension. You created the bad title and the parallel article, just merge the damn thing and redirect your non-Canadian title to the proper Canadian term.Skookum1 (talk) 07:20, 8 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

The Brampton biomass plant was purchased by Emerald Energy From Waste in 2014 ^[1]. Furthermore, the capacity (power output) is now stated to be 9.31 ^[2]. 199.212.18.130 (talk) 21:44, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Ori 2020-Feb-12Reply

60%?

Latest comment: 7 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The statement that Nuclear plants provide 60% of Ontario's power seems to be at odds with the figures the article provides - which suggest it supplies well under half.

I also note that the source of this figure is the agency that provides nuclear power....

There might well be an explanation for this figure: perhaps other sources provide power intermittently - daily/ seasonal/ weather-related/as needed..., with capacity and provision thus not necessarily aligned. If so, this should probably be made clear. Or the statement should be removed. Malav71 (talk) 21:51, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
