TransAlta starts new Sarnia power plant in Ontario Friday March 28, 11:19 am ET NEW YORK, March 28 - TransAlta Corp. (Toronto:TA.TO - News) started the commercial operation of its new 440 megawatt (MW) gas-fired facility at its Sarnia cogeneration plant in Ontario, the Canadian power generator said in a statement Thursday. The company integrated 135 MW from the existing facility TransAlta acquired last year. The 575 MW, $490 million gas-fired plant is supplying steam and electricity to TransAlta's customers as well as electricity to the province's wholesale market. Ontario's electric grid operator has been saying for months the province is in critical need of the new power generation from Sarnia and three nuclear units that are expected to enter service by the end of June, in time for the hot summer months when demand for electric air conditioning peaks. TransAlta started construction of the 440 MW new facility, which includes three gas turbines and two steam turbines, in March 2001. Sarnia is about 100 km (60 miles) northeast of Detroit.
