Hastings County council is being asked to support the Marmora pumped storage project on Monday.
A report from the Municipality of Marmora and Lake details the project would reduce the dependence on carbon-emitting electricity generating resources and would repurpose the Marmora Mine into becoming a zero-carbon energy asset.
The pumped storage project is also expected to create 800 to 1,000 jobs during the four-year construction period.
The report states the project also has the prospect of becoming a provincial and federal eco-tourism asset, resulting in sustainable employment for the area.
