Ontario Power Generation
New Post Creek Project
OPG and its partner Coral Rapids Power LP (CRP), a wholly owned company of Taykwa Tagamou Nation, are proposing to develop approximately 25 megawatts of renewable hydroelectric power through the construction of the New Post Creek generating station. The new station will divert water from New Post Creek approximately six kilometres upstream of New Post Falls, through penstocks to the generating station on the Abitibi River.
Associated activities include improvements to existing access roads, establishment of a temporary construction site and installation of an approximately seven kilometre long transmission line, which would connect to an existing Hydro One 115 kilovolt transmission line on the west side of the Abitibi River.
The EA approvals process is expected to continue through 2011, 2012, and into 2013.
