Sustainable Development



At OPG, we strive to meet our obligation to produce power in a manner that reflects our commitment to the environmental dimension of sustainable development.

OPG's commitment to the principles of sustainable development dates from our inception as a company in 1999. We are committed to minimizing our impact on the environment; operating our facilities safely, reliably and responsibly and being an engaged and productive member of our host communities.

Eight of OPG's sites are certified Wildlife Habitats including the Nanticoke Generating Station (featured on the right). We must comply with literally hundreds of environmental laws, regulations, by-laws and requirements contained in operating permits and Certificates of Approval. We consider regulatory compliance to be a minimum, non-negotiable standard for progress towards sustainable development by our company, and we have established voluntary internal environmental targets to help ensure that our overall performance continues to improve beyond compliance.

Every year OPG publishes a Sustainable Development report to enable stakeholders to review our progress. The reports are all available for download by clicking here.
