Major Projects
Helping Prepare for Ontario's Energy Future

To help meet Ontario's electricity needs, OPG has embarked on a major campaign to increase its capacity through new generation projects. OPG acts as project manager on these initiatives, contracting with third party firms who assume much of the risk for constructing the projects on time and on budget.
