Tunnel to boost Ontario electricity

From The Globe and Mail:

Ontario Power Generation has granted a contract to an Austrian company to build a new 10.4-kilometre-long tunnel to increase electricity generation from the Niagara River, it announced Thursday.
The announcement comes during a time that Ontario is struggling to meet its energy needs as it shuts down its coal-fired plants.

Strabag AG was chosen along with several other subcontractors to begin construction of the tunnel, named the Niagara Tunnel Project — which will supply additional water from above Niagara Falls to the generating complex at Queenston Heights.
