The Ontario government has given approval for a California company to construct a massive 40MW solar power plant near Sarnia that will blanket an area larger than all three Toronto islands with hundreds of thousands of solar panels. It will be the largest solar power station in North America and among the most expansive in the world to use photovoltaic cells. Once complete, the 40-megawatt Sarnia project will be able to supply enough emission-free electricity to power between 10,000 and 15,000 homes on sunny days. If all goes according to schedule, the Sarnia solar plant will be fully functional in 2010 and will continue supplying clean electricity to the grid for the next 30 to 50 years.
