Within this 20,936 of supply capacity, 4,717 MW were procured from existing generating facilities, which required minimal or no new capital investment. The remaining capacity, 16,219 MW, was procured from new development, expansion, redevelopment or refurbishment of existing facilities.

This represents more than $35.0 billion of new capital investment in generation in the Ontario electricity system since 2005.
