Brighton Beach Power completes commissioning of power plant in Windsor, Ontario Construction of the power plant required approximately two million labour hours that peaked with 775 people on site early in 2004.

According to a Canada Newswire press release, the economic benefits to Ontario, and Windsor in particular, are substantial with capital expenditures of over $500 million.

The release also stated the ongoing benefits from the operation of the plant with 32 permanent employees living and working in the Windsor area. The plant is now fully capable of supplying power to the Ontario grid with the commissioning complete.

Coral Energy Canada Inc. will exclusively supply natural gas and market the electricity generated by the plant.

ATCO Power has a global development of environmentally progressive generation facilities. It has built, owns and operates power plants in Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.

Coral Energy Canada Inc. is a full service energy marketing and trading company with offices in Waterloo, Ontario, Montreal, Quebec and Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta.
