Kapuskasing Mill Saving On Electricity Costs

McGuinty Government Helping To Reduce Energy Costs, Protect Jobs

Ontario is helping Tembec General Partnership reduce energy costs, stay competitive and protect 550 jobs at its newsprint mill in Kapuskasing.

Through the Northern Industrial Electricity Rate (NIER) program, the company is receiving an energy rebate of two cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) to help manage electricity costs and improve energy efficiency and sustainability.

Partnering with companies in Northern Ontario communities is part of the McGuinty government’s plan to create and support jobs for Ontario families and to strengthen local economies.
