"Ontario's waterpower industry contributes more than $140 million a year in resource royalties to the Ontario government." How much profit is generated for private interests using public resources? What is the waterpower association doing to support and encourage community ownership of waterpower developments?
Resource royalties are the contributions that producers make to the Consolidated Revenue Fund and is often the single largest source of such revenues to the province. These resources are utilized by the government to invest in public policy priorities. Private investment supports the broader public interest. There are already a number of municipalities that own and operate facilities. The OWA supports all waterpower development in Ontario.
