This makes for a total installed capacity of 12 MW, on a grid with slightly over 160 MW installed capacity and a peak load of 110 MW. Not bad for a small island that does not have grid ties to any larger grid! So, put the Playa Kanoa too.

Toronto's maps in Google maps are fairly old. If you look a little north east, you see a large empty, dirt area -- pretty much that whole area is developed now.
