A company wants to construct a hydrogen peaking plant in Owen Sound. If the Public Energy peaker plant in Owen Sound is selected by the IESO to proceed, it will go through the city’s regular development and planning process as well. The new peaker plant is proposed on a vacant industrial lot on 20th Street East, just north of the local headquarters for hydrogen industry participant Hydrogen Optimized — which is located in the former Tenneco plant. “I think it’s an excellent project,” says Owen Sound Coun. “(It’s) in alignment with some of the strategic vision the City of Owen Sound has.
