UPPER MATTAGAMI REDEVELOPMENTS

Ontario Power Generation Inc. (OPG) is proposing to add more clean, renewably hydro electricity by redeveloping three hydroelectric generating stations on the Upper Mattagami River. The redevelopment will be on the sites of the existing generating stations at Wawaitin, Sandy Falls, and Lower Sturgeon.

The Proposed redevelopment will replace certain obsolete and end of service life facilities at these existing 25 cycle generating stations. When completed, the combined capacity of the new generating stations will be approximately 35 megawatts, an increase of 45 per cent from the existing generating stations and will produce electricity at 60 cycles which can be used directly in the local distribution system.

All three generating stations are located on the Upper Mattagami River System within 50 kilometres of the City of Timmins.

OPG is committed to consulting with the respective First Nations, government agencies, the public and other interested stakeholders on the Proposed Undertaking. Input and comments will be considered and included in the preparation of the Environmental Assessment Report.
