The delegations sought Committee's support to stop the expansion of Emerald Energy from Waste Inc., and to request that the Provincial Government undertake a third party investigation of this matter.  This cover air quality, health concerns, and public awareness of the issue.

That staff be directed to report back and provide an update on the potential expansion of the Goreway Generation Station (8600 Goreway Drive, Brampton, ON); and that the report back from staff specifically highlight how it effects our City approved GHG emission reduction targets and any potential environmental and health impacts as a result of this contract extension 

Deputy Mayor Singh outlined the purpose of the motion.

Councillor Power accepted an amendment from Mayor Brown to request that staff also report on how an expansion of the plant may impact the City’s targets for reductions in GHG emissions. 

Brampton council voted to allow only the Battery Energy Storage option as the gas fired plant would go against the city's greenhouse gas reduction plans.
