Building a stronger, more resilient Ontario

At Ontario Power Generation (OPG), innovation is in our DNA. We are never content with the status quo, so we’re hard at work on key projects that will help us keep rates low, reduce carbon emissions, create jobs, and electrify life in Ontario.

OPG’s key projects show a company that is on the move – looking ahead and around every corner. We’re investing in new and emerging technologies because we know we need to be ready to supply more clean power and more low-carbon solutions that will support Ontarians as they transition away from fossil fuels.
