Ontario Power Generation
Little Jackfish Project
Ontario Power Generation Inc. (OPG) is proposing to develop approximately 78 megawatts of renewable hydroelectric power through the construction of a generating station on the Little Jackfish River, which drains into Lake Nipigon (Proposed Undertaking). There is no existing hydroelectric development on the river. The generating station will include a dam with a water intake and by-pass structure, a powerhouse and a tailrace channel. Associated facilities include access roads, borrow areas for construction materials and a large temporary construction camp. Transmission facilities to connect the Proposed Undertaking to the provincial grid will also be required.
OPG is committed to consulting with the respective First Nations and Métis, government agencies, the public, and other interested stakeholders on the Proposed Undertaking. Input and comments will be considered during the environmental assessment process.
