Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has been a part of Northeastern Ontario for over 100 years, and today we have 14 hydroelectric generating stations in operation. These stations, their employees, our host communities, and our First Nation partners play an important role in helping generate clean, reliable power for Ontario.

Road and dam access restrictions
We're performing upgrades some of our stations in Northeastern Ontario, which may impact road access across dams, and along roads on or near our property. Drivers wishing to cross should expect intermittent delays or temporary closures. We thank the public for their patience and continued commitment to road safety.
Matabitchuan GS bailey bridge replacement
- No access across the bailey bridge between April 15 and May 15, 2025.
We will be completing bridge replacement work at the Matabitchuan Generating Station (GS) bailey bridge. This work is taking place as part of the Matabitchuan GS Redevelopment Project. The bridge replacement involves removing the existing structure and replacing it with a pre-fabricated structure. This is critical work to ensure the stability of the bridge throughout the redevelopment project, and for all future use. Work time frames are subject to change – we will advise of new dates if necessary.
Abitibi Canyon
- Road closed every Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. – ongoing (Complete closure – associated with work taking place at the dam)
Please note this schedule is subject to change, and the version on this web page is the most current and accurate.
Key projects and initiatives
Generating power with purpose
Our role in Ontario isn’t just measured by kilowatts (although we’re really good at producing them); it’s measured by our relationships, the impact we make and the future we leave to the next generation. That’s why we strive to be good corporate citizens who care about the environmental, economic, and social wellbeing of all Ontario.
At OPG, we have a purpose that goes beyond generating clean, reliable, low-cost power – we’re helping generate a stronger, cleaner, more prosperous Ontario.
