About us
At Ontario Power Generation (OPG), our power is changing the world as we strive to electrify life in one generation. As the province’s largest clean power generator, OPG operates one of North America’s most diverse generating fleets. We are now advancing several clean energy innovations, including Small Modular Reactors, low-carbon hydrogen, and energy storage, to help set Ontario and the world on the path to an electrified future, where more aspects of life – from cars to homes and industries – are powered by clean electricity. As part of this vision, we’re also focused on becoming a net-zero company by 2040 and enabling a net-zero economy by 2050. We have already made major strides to a sustainable future. In 2014, OPG burned its last piece of coal to make electricity, which represented one of the world’s single-largest climate change-specific actions. Today, through the dedication of more than 9,500 employees, OPG generates almost half of the electricity that Ontario’s homes, schools, hospitals, and businesses rely on each day. We are committed to ensuring our energy production is reliable, safe, and environmentally sustainable for Ontarians today and for the future. In Ontario, our diverse fleet includes two nuclear stations, 66 hydroelectric stations, two thermal generating stations, one solar facility, and four combined-cycle gas generating stations, which are operated by our subsidiary, Atura Power. Additionally, we own two other nuclear generating stations in Ontario, which are leased on a long-term basis to Bruce Power L.P. In the United States, OPG owns and operates 85 hydroelectric stations in 18 states through our subsidiary, Eagle Creek Renewable Energy. Some of the actions OPG is taking now to prepare for our electric future include the ongoing refurbishment and upgrades of our hydro fleet, refurbishment of our Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, which will secure 30 more years of clean, reliable, low-cost power.

OPG student team members had the chance to connect with the North American Young Generation in Nuclear (NAYGN) - Durham Chapter during a lunch-and-learn at the Pickering Information Centre this week. NAYGN helps young people develop leadership skills, as well as networking and community engagement experience, all while deepening their understanding of the nuclear industry. We’re excited to offer these opportunities for our students to engage with the nuclear industry. Learn more about life at OPG: opg.com/careers

Canada’s used nuclear fuel has a home. We are pleased to announce we have selected the Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation-Ignace area as the future site for Canada’s deep geological repository for used nuclear fuel. There is international scientific consensus that a deep geological repository is the safest way to manage used nuclear fuel for the long term, and Canada is among those leading the charge on this global solution. This historic decision was only possible because of the dedication of the people of Ignace, Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation and the many other communities that took part in this process over more than a decade. We are grateful to all the communities that led the way for your time, commitment to learning and passion for your communities’ well-being. Thank you for helping us shape a safer and more sustainable future for Canada. Learn more: https://nwmo.co/4g2qX13 Le combustible nucléaire irradié canadien a un chez-soi. Nous sommes heureux d’annoncer que nous avons choisi la région de la Nation ojibwée de Wabigoon Lake-Ignace comme site pour le futur dépôt géologique en profondeur du Canada pour le combustible nucléaire irradié. Il existe un consensus scientifique international selon lequel un dépôt géologique en profondeur constitue la solution la plus sûre pour assurer la gestion à long terme du combustible nucléaire irradié, et le Canada fait partie des chefs de file de la mise en oeuvre de cette solution mondiale. Cette décision historique n’a été rendue possible que grâce au dévouement des résidents d’Ignace, de la Nation ojibwée de Wabigoon Lake et des nombreuses autres collectivités qui ont participé à ce processus pendant plus d’une décennie. Nous devons notre reconnaissance à toutes les collectivités qui ont ouvert la voie pour votre temps, votre engagement à apprendre et votre passion pour le bien-être de votre collectivité. Merci de nous aider à préparer un avenir plus sûr et plus durable pour le Canada. Pour en savoir plus : https://nwmo.co/4g7l2Y1

It’s easy to take electricity for granted — just flip a switch and turn on the lights without a second thought. But how it’s generated and where it’s used have become increasingly important. That’s why electrification matters. Learn more: opg.com/electrification #WattDoesItMean
