McGuinty Government Helping To Reduce Energy Costs, Protect Jobs
Ontario is helping
Tembec General Partnership reduce energy costs, stay competitive and protect 550 jobs at its newsprint mill in Kapuskasing.
Through the Northern Industrial Electricity Rate (NIER) program, the company is receiving an energy rebate of two cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) to help manage electricity costs and improve energy efficiency and sustainability.
Partnering with companies in Northern Ontario communities is part of the McGuinty government’s plan to create and support jobs for Ontario families and to strengthen local economies.
QUICK FACTS
- Ontario has provided $7.9 million to Tembec General Partnership for energy efficiencies achieved in 2010-2011 at the Kapuskasing mill, and the company will be eligible for further rebates.
- Averaging $150 million per year in assistance, the three-year NIER program is providing electricity rebates to large industries in Northern Ontario that prepare and implement comprehensive energy management plans.
