Much of the newer power generation coming online in the last few years is natural gas or combined-cycle natural gas plants OPG is not however responsible for the transmission of power which is under the control of Hydro One The Pickering Nuclear Generating Station is one of three nuclear power stations in Ontario Despite its diverse range of power options problems related to increasing consumption lack of energy efficiency and aging nuclear reactors Ontario has been forced in recent years to purchase power from its neighbours Quebec and Michigan to supplement its power needs during peak consumption periods Ontario's basic domestic rate in 2010 was 11.17 cents per kWh; by contrast Quebec's was 6.81 in December 2013 the government projected a 42 percent hike by 2018 and 68 percent by 2033. Industrial rates are projected to rise by 33% by 2018 and 55% in 2033 The Green Energy and Green Economy Act 2009 (GEA) takes a two-pronged approach to commercializing renewable energy; first it aims to bring more renewable energy sources to the province; and secondly it aims to adopt more energy-efficiency measures to help conserve energy the bill envisaged appointing a Renewable Energy Facilitator to provide "one-window" assistance and support to project developers to facilitate project approvals The approvals process for transmission projects would also be streamlined and (for the first time in Ontario) the bill would enact standards for renewable energy projects Homeowners would have access to incentives to develop small-scale renewables such as low- or no-interest loans to finance the capital cost of renewable energy generating facilities like solar panels The Sir Adam Beck Hydroelectric Generating Stations is a hydroelectric plant located in Niagara Falls Ontario is home to Niagara Falls which supplies a large amount of electricity to the province the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station the largest operational nuclear power plant in the world is also in Ontario and uses 8 CANDU reactors to generate electricity for the province Ontario had the most wind energy capacity of the country with 4,900 MW of power (41% of Canada capacity) Government law and politics, 8 See also Islands 4 Season-by-season record. The Technical School Board was created to oversee a single school the Toronto Technical School Classes were first offered in 1892 in St Lawrence Hall but when enrollment exceeded expectations they were moved to Old Wycliffe Hall now part of the University of Toronto campus in 1901 classes were moved to the Stewart Building due to growing enrollment Finally the school moved to its current location in 1915 and is now known as the Central Technical School due to the construction of addition technical schools in the board Members of the Technical School Board were also appointed but by a different process than members of the Collegiate Institute Board Members of the Technical School Board were appointed by municipal council the Architectural Guild the Trades and Labour Council and the Association of Stationary Engineers.

Meanwhile there were 114 reported incidents of shootings without injuries as of July 15 compared to just 14 in 2014. However despite this significant increase in the number of shooting incidents and victims the almost eleven month total of shooting related deaths at that point matched the previous decade low of 22 gun deaths for 2013 and the total number of homicides had potential to be the lowest number since TPS began publicly releasing the figures in 2005. Since then the city has seen an increase in shootings with 407 shootings in 2016 and 392 that following year As of November 20 2018 Toronto had the highest homicide rate among major Canadian cities with a rate of 3.5 per 100,000 people Its current homicide rate is higher than in Winnipeg Calgary Edmonton Vancouver Ottawa Montreal Hamilton New York City San Diego and Austin. Although this rate is an exaggerated spike primarily caused by the Toronto van attack which murdered 10 people on April 23 2018 the rate is still 3.1 (per 100,000 people) without this and still highest among the listed Canadian cities the 3 highest homicide years in the past decade are the most recent three reversing the downward trend that followed after the "year of the gun.".
