Environment Minister Jeff Yurek revoked the Nation Rise Wind Farm project's approval late last year, citing concerns about the bat population.

On Wednesday, Crown prosecutors withdrew charges against Ontario's environment minister, government staff and three companies involved in building wind farms.

A local resident claims the community was assured that a planned solar project would be cancelled as part of the party's election pledge to rip up bad green energy projects.

The government has previously said the Liberal plan drove up Ontario's deficit by $1.8 billion in 2017-2018.

A panel says Ontario's energy regulator is in need of an overhaul to better respond to customer needs and adapt to technological change.

The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission said Tuesday it will take no action on the request, which was made after regulators found last month that the $6.7-billion planned merger would not sufficiently safeguard Avista customers from the whims of Ontario's provincial government - Hydro One's largest shareholder.

The government announcement does not indicate which specific projects are being cancelled.

The government says the Fair Hydro Plan has variables programmed in it to allow for changes in energy consumption and prices, but the debt will still remain and getting consumers to pay it will be tough if there are other better cheaper options.

The provincial government hopes to help people reduce their energy bills by improving the efficiency of their homes.
