Bruce Power has made a new commitment to electric transportation. It's a partnership with Plug’n Drive, the University of Waterloo, local communities, and the Asthma Society of Canada.
Plug’n Drive is hosting the first Electric Vehicle Day at Queen’s Park today to showcase the environmental and economic benefit of driving electric.
Among many initiatives, Bruce Power and Plug’n Drive are supporting the installation of more electric car charging stations.
Two dual wand charging stations have been installed at Bruce Power’s Visitors’ Centre, while additional stations have been installed in Port Elgin, Southampton, and Wroxeter. Further stations are planned for Kincardine, Sauble Beach and Owen Sound.
"While we continue to focus on playing an important role providing Ontario with emissions-free power, we also believe we need to do our part to support innovation and build on a modern, clean electricity system to help reduce emissions," said Duncan Hawthorne, Bruce Power’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
"We believe supporting these initiatives, in collaboration with a number of key partners, will produce positive and tangible results."
Bruce Power, Plug’n Drive, the University of Waterloo and the Asthma Society of Canada will start a joint study to examine the economic and environmental opportunities associated with electrified transportation in Ontario.
This report will build on the expertise from all organizations and will be released in 2016.
