OUT WITH THE COAL. IN WITH THE NEW.
In April, Ontario Power Generation marked one year since it burned its last piece of coal to make electricity. By successfully phasing out coal, OPG helped deliver the Province’ s commitment to cleaner air. It also happens to be North America’ s single largest climate change initiative and the equivalent of taking 7 million cars off the road.
Today, OPG produces more than half of the electricity Ontario relies on every day, and 99.7 per cent of that power is free of smog and greenhouse gas emissions.
And we’ re keeping Ontario’ s air clean by investing in renewable hydroelectric generation and by refurbishing the Darlington Nuclear station. We’ ve also converted two of our coal stations to run on biomass – a renewable, plant-based fuel that’ s better for the environment and good for Ontario’ s economy.
