The IESO has announced that it has cancelled several Feed In Tariff contracts for power generation projects, among them five wind power projects.
They are: Trout Creek in the District of Parry Sound, the Meyer and Majestic projects in Kincardine, the Clarington project, and Ostrander Point in Prince Edward County.
See the list of projects by year and quarter here: http://fit.powerauthority.on.ca/program-updates/program-reports

EIA – Today In Energy
Using power price maps reflects real-time-constraints on the transmission of electricity. Up-to-date maps don’t seem to be available to the public
Price Tab: Gives the expected range of power prices for today in the U.S.
Map: Click on Midwest/MISO > Real Time Market Data
Has a page of real time wind production for MISO, but MISO covers a large territory in the U.S.
http://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.cfm?id=3150
Visual tools to better understand power power production & transmission issues. May have some use in Ontario to view how things work. Like wind power production fluctuations in real time.

Town Halls involving carbon issues were held across Canada earlier this year including one in Toronto this past June.
Build consensus?
