In this issue, we feature OPG's inaugural Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report, which details how we are striving to become a sustainable, socially responsible, and beneficial company for communities and Indigenous partners.

Advancing Canada's first grid-scale SMR

Meanwhile, at OPG's Darlington site, we continue to advance Canada’s first grid-scale Small Modular Reactor (SMR). In our latest story, find out what OPG and its project partners have been up to at the site in recent months, and what’s coming up. Once deployed by the end of the decade, this ground-breaking SMR could offer more clean power for Ontario and help usher a fleet of low-emission SMRs across Canada.

Also in this issue, learn about how we are investing in safety and climate change preparation with the Smoky Falls Dam Safety project, read about our exciting new SMR partnership with X-energy to help reduce industrial carbon emissions, and get the latest on a unique program involving grazing goats at our Niagara hydro sites.

Finally, be sure to catch up with a few of our exceptional people, including Robin Manley, a long-time OPG leader recently recognized for his efforts to advance nuclear power and SMRs, and Sami Jewer, a millwright apprentice who made her career shift with the help of OPG’s Indigenous Opportunities Network.
