OTTAWA (Reuters) - The Canadian province of Ontario won't approve any proposed off-shore wind power projects until there is further scientific research on their impact on the environment.
The province, which offers North America's most comprehensive and lucrative rates for power from the sun, wind, water and biomass, said on Friday it would suspend current offshore wind applications under its program to buy power generated by renewable sources.
It will accept no new applications for off-shore projects under the so-called feed-in tariff program.
