Economic benefits
We’re planning to deliver long-term value
This project will benefit Ontario for generations to come. This 400-MW project would create jobs, promote skills development, encourage tourism, support local development, and help moderate the price of electricity as a renewable resource.
The Project could create up to 1,000 construction jobs and 300 long-term regionally based jobs.
A platform for growth | The Marmora Project would enhance the local environment by transforming a large-scale rock pile into a value-added clean energy asset and unlock a new source of economic development for eastern Ontario. |
A way to stimulate local economies | The Marmora Project is estimated to provide a $35-million annual economic benefit through eastern Ontario through job creation, skills training, tourism, residential and commercial development, tax revenue, and spin-offs supporting rural business. |
A source of job creation in Ontario | The Marmora Project is projected to create up to 3,500 jobs (direct and indirect) over the lifespan of the facility. This includes up to 1,000 construction jobs over a five-year period and 300 long-term regionally-based jobs associated with tourism and economic spin-off. |
A price moderator | The Marmora Project would create ratepayer value and help moderate the cost of electricity for all Ontarians. |
