Ontario Power Generation
Lennox Generating Station
Lennox Generating Station is a duel fueled oil and natural gas plant. Located on the eastern shore of Lake Ontario near Bath, Lennox GS has been in operation since 1976.
In 1982 the station was placed in reserve due to a decrease in demand and it was subsequently reopened in 1987. Two units were again placed in reserve between 1994 and 1998. The station was converted to dual oil/natural gas fuelling in 1998-2000.
The station now has a capacity of 2120 MW from its four dual-fuelled units. All four units can use natural gas in summer smog season, and oil in winter when natural gas is needed for home heating. The plant and its 150 employees play a key role in helping Ontario meet peak power demands.
