Union Gas is drawing up plans for a multi-million dollar pipeline to the coal-fired Lambton Generating Station at Courtright. Blackburn Radio News has learned the utility is working on preliminary plans with Ontario Power Generation.
Union Gas Spokesperson Andrea Stass says OPG has asked the utility to investigate the possibility of converting LGS from coal to natural gas.
The project would require an environmental assessment and public consultations, which could come later this year. Stass says Union Gas would have to apply for Ontario Energy Board approval in 2012. The province is phasing out all coal-fired power stations by 2014.
