On November 28, 2003, Kirkland Lake Power Corp. (KLPC), a member of the Probyn Group, entered into a secured credit facility with Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada and the Great-West Life Assurance Company (collectively the lenders), with Sun Life acting as administrative agent. Under the credit agreement, KLPC obtained credit facilities in the aggregate amount of $30 million to finance the development, construction and commissioning costs of a new gas-fired combustion turbine-generator to be located on a plant site adjacent to KLPC’s existing electricity generation facilities in Kirkland, Ontario. The gas turbine was purchased from GE Packaged Power, Inc. and the engineering, procurement and construction contract was entered into with AECON Industrial, a division of AECON Construction Group Inc. The expansion plant will be managed by Northland Power Inc. (NPI). Power produced by the new plant will be sold to the Ontario Electricity Financing Corp. (OEFC).
