Solar Manufacturer To Create 300 Jobs In Toronto

McGuinty Government Builds Clean Energy Economy As Province Continues To Turn The Corner

Ontario's shift toward clean, renewable energy is attracting more jobs and investment to the Toronto-area.
Eclipsall Energy Corp. is opening a manufacturing facility in Toronto to make solar panels for Ontario's growing clean energy sector, with plans to expand across the North American market in 2012. The plant is expected to create 100 new jobs by the end of this summer, and an additional 200 jobs by early 2012. The solar panels produced at the plant are expected to generate enough electricity each year to power about 25,000 homes.
Ontario is replacing dirty, coal-fired plants with cleaner sources of renewable energy like water, wind, solar and bio-energy. It's part of the McGuinty government's plan to keep costs down for families today, while building a clean, modern and reliable electricity system for tomorrow.
Ontario's Green Energy Act will create 50,000 clean energy jobs by the end of 2012. Over 13,000 jobs have already been created as a result of Ontario's plan.
