Ontario Power Generation (OPG): Energizing Ontario's Electricity Framework

Established in 1999, OPG plays a crucial role in Ontario's energy system, generating two-thirds of the province's electricity through a diverse portfolio of hydroelectric, nuclear, thermal, and gas facilities. With a focus on sustainability and reliability, OPG is a key player in Ontario's energy landscape, contributing to the reduction of coal generation, promoting renewable energy sources, and ensuring a balanced energy mix for the future.

  8. Ontario’s Long-Term Energy Plan • Released by Minister of Energy in November 2010 • Detailed plan will be prepared by Ontario Power Authority • Subject to public comment and Ontario Energy Board review

  9. Long Term Energy Plan and OPG’s Role Highlights: • Eliminate coal generation by end of 2014 • Convert Atikokan GS to biomass • Convert Thunder Bay GS to natural gas • Nuclear continues to supply 50% of Ontario electricity – Darlington Refurbishment and New Build • Increase hydroelectric generation • Ontario to expand renewable generation from wind, solar and bioenergy as well as expand CHP, conservation • Use natural gas generation for reliability and meeting peak demand
