I believe the plants are very similar in design.

They're both SNC-Lavalin (the outsourcer of government services of choice these days) - the one in Brampton was originally Sithe, I guess they got bought out.

SNC-Lavalin also designed and built the new $122 million 117 MW cogeneration power plant for the GTAA at Toronto Pearson using very similar technology - two LM 6000 natural gas turbines, and a steam turbine.

So this isn't as bad as I thought it would be... I thought it would have a 500 ft smokestack and such
I was wrong!

That would be nice, but what's pictured above isn't even the Hearn stack.

New Power Plant
This is right next to the Unwin Bridge (which has been closed for construction for ages). Not sure which power plant this is (or if there's already a thread for it here).
Was quite something to see these huge stacks lying down not too long ago...

Hey everybody look! There's our clean, green waterfront! Awesome!

Right in the middle of the clean, green "Cement Campus" that the city has planned for the area.

I've gone back and read through this whole thread.
It's quite a sad commentary on the decision makers in this city and this province.
This area between the beaches and downtown HAD so much potential.
And I bet most citizens (including myself) had no idea what was going on here.

The concrete stack looks positively beautiful in comparison.

- a strange reality, bizarro toronto
why don't they build some artificial mountain around it and poke a hole through the top to let the smoke out? somebody call the guys that made wonderland - we can have our very own volcano on the waterfront!! we can get the construction companies to dump crushed asphalt along the beaches and the base of our volcano, which will eventually turn into black sand, to add to the effect. some plastic palm trees and viola!

It doesn't end there. The site of Lakeview might become a new gas fired power plant in the future. More prime lake front property going to a power plant!
Chicago has its parks, Toronto will have power plants! At least we are being different

I really hope Lakeview doesn't get another power plant. Mississauga has done its share for providing power to the GTA. It's York region's turn. Build one at VCC.
