Investor Relations l Customers & Suppliers l Employees/Pensioners l Careers Home l FAQ l Contact Us About OPG POWER GENERATION The Power Ontario Needs As one of the largest producers of electricity in North America, Ontario Power Generation operates 64 hydroelectric, 5 fossil and 3 nuclear stations producing more than 22,000 megawatts of electricity.
In fact, OPG owns one of the most diversified, low cost and low emission portfolios in North America. Our commitment is to continually improve the efficiency of our generating stations so that Ontario has the power it needs, when it needs it.
During 2006, OPG increased production from its economical and virtually emissionfree nuclear and hydroelectric stations. Accounting for 31 per cent of the energy used in Ontario in 2006, OPGs 10 nuclear units generated 46.9 TWh - an increase of four percent over their 2005 production levels.
This increase was primarily because of the generation from the Pickering Unit 1 reactor, which completed its first full year of operation since returning to service in the fall of 2005.
OPG's 2006 Generating Mix Increased nuclear production also reduced the number of times OPG's fossil fuelled plants were called upon to generate electricity for the Province
- helping to reduce air emissions and moderate the price of electricity for Ontario consumers.
OPGs 64 hydroelectric stations also produced more electricity than in 2005. Total hydro production in 2006 was 33.3 TWh compared to 32.6 TWh the year before. This increase resulted from higher water levels in Eastern and Northeast Ontario.
