Ontario government lawyers will seek to dismiss a legal action (Rule 21 Motion) filed by Trillium Power Wind Corporation (Trillium Power) after the Province cancelled all offshore wind projects in February 2011. Trillium Power was well advanced in developing projects located between 10 and 120 km offshore in The Great Lakes.
Despite Trillium Power filing its legal action in September 2011 in response to the Province’s actions, the Province has yet to produce a statement of defence. The Province has advanced only procedural arguments which have led to delays.
Trillium Power remains poised to work with the Province to advance development of the far-offshore wind resources of Ontario and to further the success of the Green Energy and Economy Act.
