About OPGPower GenerationSafety & EnvironmentIn The CommunityLearning ZoneNews Room







We’re Ontario Power Generation
We make electricity. Lots of it. In 2005, we generated over 100 terawatt-hours (TWh). Learn more about OPG's history here.

Making Electricity
We are the main electricity generator in Canada’s most populous province. We make electricity from:

  • Falling water, like at the Sir Adam Beck Generating Station at Niagara Falls
  • Nuclear power, like at the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station
  • Fossil fuels, like at the coal-fired Nanticoke Generating Station
  • Green energy, like wind and solar power, biomass fuels and low-impact hydro
