Blame nuclear and gas plants \u2013 April 19th) seriously distorts some of the facts about the Global Adjustment to Ontario electricity bills.<\/p>\n<p>It would be more accurate to point out that a megawatt of wind-generated electricity received a Global Adjustment of $74 in 2011, according to the Ontario Power Authority. A megawatt of nuclear-generated electricity received a Global Adjustment of $26. In other words, electricity generated by wind power received a Global Adjustment nearly three times the adjustment for nuclear.<\/p>\n<p>It is true that nuclear received a larger share of the Global Adjustment in 2011 than did wind. That\u2019s because nuclear provided 56.4% of Ontario\u2019s electricity last year while wind provided just 3%.<\/p>\n<p>Yours sincerely,<\/p>\n<p>Heather Kleb<br \/>\nPresident<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
