TORONTO, - (http://www.financialnewsmedia.com News Alert) - Atlantic Wind & Solar, Inc. (OTC: AWSL) is pleased to announce the receipt of a Notice To Proceed (NTP) on another utility scale solar power plant in Ontario Canada.

Construction has commenced on the estimated 60-day project.



The $1.2 million utility scale project is located in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) of Ontario . It is sized at 240 KW AC and will supply power to the grid over a 20 year period.



The solar power plant was developed by its Canadian subsidiary Atlantic Solar Inc.
