An interesting piece by Thomas Walkom in the Toronto Star on November 9, 2011 examines the changing powers behind Ontario electricity generation:

Ontario is quietly privatizing its electricity system. Unlike former Tory premier Mike Harris, Dalton McGuinty is not advertising this fact. But slowly and inexorably, his Liberal government is squeezing out public power.

The evidence is in the figures. When McGuinty became premier in 2003, about 72 per cent of the province’s electricity was produced by Ontario Power Generation, the Crown corporation once known as Ontario Hydro.

By 2010, that figure had dropped to 62 per cent.

Yet the shift has gone largely unnoticed.
