Minister Jeff Yurek had scrapped the Nation Rise Wind Farm in December.
Windmills are seen in a stock photo. A court has quashed the Ontario government's decision to cancel Nation Rise Wind Farm in Cornwall, Ont.
At the time, Environment Minister Jeff Yurek revoked the approvals of the project near Cornwall, Ont., citing the risk to three bat species. A spokesman for Yurek said the government is disappointed with the outcome of the case but did not comment on a possible appeal. Yurek “was found to have ignored the evidence and the facts,” he said. “They didn’t just lose, their case collapsed. They had nothing to stand on. Taking this to appeal would be a complete and total waste of money.”
The Progressive Conservatives have blamed the previous Liberal government for signing the bad energy deals while the province had an oversupply of electricity.
