I'm not entirely sure - my dad is a town counselor for the township of Armor, but my sister told me about the state of one of the sites, I was pretty sure it was the East site, as it's by/around the church down the road from my parents, I don't know what her source was.

I did send her the northland power link and asked about it, but she may be talking about the Peggs mountain road site.

I have family that work (currently and formerly) within OPG and HydroOne, so I could likely find out.

I see Northland Power lists the Burks Falls East & West projects as operational, being commissioned in 2013 and 2014. and there's another smaller site on Peggs Mountain Rd that also sounds like it's up & running (though currently embroiled in a fight over installing a BESS)

Wonder if they'll finally bring the Burks falls solar plant online, which has been finished and ready, but not actually connected to the grid since the ontario government cancelled the contract a week from the date it was supposed to be connected.
