Ontario Competition Could Be Slowed by Credit Fears
LCG, Feb. 27, 2002--Although a competitive power market is due to begin in Ontario on May 1, acquisitions of Ontario Power Generation's power-producing assets have been slow enough that the spin-off of utility Ontario Hydro still owns 80 percent of the province's generating assets.Ontario Power's management attributes the slow pace of divestiture to banks' Enron-inspired fear of utility credit problems. Ron Robinson, vice-president of portfolio management at OPG said, "they don't have the money to come in and invest. Not only are they withdrawing their interest, they're going home to take care of their balance sheets."The provincial transition plan for full competition requires that within ten years, no more than 35 percent of Ontario electric output should come from OPG. The single major competition-related development in the province to date has involved Bruce Power, a partnership of British Energy Plc and Cameco Corp., a Canadian uranium supplier. Bruce Power's nuclear assets, which it is leasing from OPG until 2018, produce 17 percent of the province's electric power needs. Some heavy industrial users have voiced concern that unless divestiture accelerates, power prices could increase. Lauri Gregg, of Falconbridge Ltd., the third-largest nickel producer in the world, said, "the faster we get competition the faster we get efficiency in the market." Gregg mentioned that Falconbridge had urged a five-year timetable instead.
