A group of northwestern Ontario political leaders is now part of a new Energy Task Force.
It consists of the Municipal Association, Chambers of Commerce, the city of Thunder Bay and the Nishnawbe Aski Nation.
NOMA president Ron Nelson says they’ll fight for an energy plan for the northwest.
“We are hear together because energy issues, relevant to northwest region, lead all of us to realize that the municipalities, the business communities and the area First Nations will be best heard if we speak with a common voice.”
Nelson says the northwest needs it’s own plan for electricity generation, transmission and pricing.
