Local Outreach
Plus Power has been developing Armour Hill since 2023 with a focus on meeting the capacity needs of Ontario’s electricity system and the customers it serves. We have been engaging with all local stakeholders regarding the Armour Hill project and will continue to provide updates, obtain feedback, and answer questions throughout the development process. Updates regarding community outreach will be posted here as the project progresses. We are committed to working with all local stakeholders to ensure a successful project.

Community Benefits
Armour Hill will be a good neighbor and a valuable asset to the surrounding community for decades to come. The Project will provide necessary capacity to the province with nearly zero polluting emissions. Additionally, Armour Hill will have little impact on neighboring businesses or the community at large; as a static facility, the Project generates insignificant traffic and creates minimal demand for municipal services. Significant project benefits to the community include:
High-paying construction and O&M jobs
Enhanced resiliency from a new, state-of-the-art power resource
Expanded property tax base for the local district
