	Ontario Power Generation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		OPG was established in April 1999 under the provincial government of premier Mike Harris as a precursor to deregulation of the province's electrical transmission delivery.
		OPG was not intended to be included in the 2001 failed Initial Public Offering of stock in its sister company Hydro One, another Ontario Hydro spin-off, and the planned privatization of all electrical generation and distribution in the province has been postponed indefinitely.
		OPG endured significant criticism concerning the slow return to operation of some of its nuclear generating stations which had been knocked offline by the August 14, 2003 flout.

		In addition, OPG was able to use their existing disaster recovery infrastructure to reduce downtime and eliminate the risk involved in their migration project.
		Ontario Power Generation is an Ontario-based company whose principal business is the generation and sale of electricity to customers in Ontario and to interconnected markets.
		OPG's goal is to be a premier North American energy company, while operating in a safe, open and environmentally responsible manner.

	Ontario Power Generation earnings (2002)
		However, overall revenues at Ontario's biggest electricity producer were flat as the company made more from the electricity it generated but sold less power overall in a market that opened to competition on May 1.
		OPG is also mandated to reduce its share of generating capacity to 35 per cent from almost 70 per cent within 10 years.
		OPG said it also had increased expenditures related to Pickering A, its nuclear power plant east of Toronto that was taken out of service in 1997 because of reliability problems and safety concerns.

	edie news centre - Ontario Power Generation “will exceed nitrogen oxide emissions cap”
		Ontario Power Generation's (OPG) nitrogen oxides emissions in the year 2000 will exceed its 38 kilotonnes (KT) cap by 5 to 12 KT or 13 to 32%, a report from the Ontario Clean Air Alliance (OCAA) claims.
		Ontario Hydro said it would achieve compliance with its 38 KT nitrogen oxides emissions cap by establishing energy efficiency programmes to reduce the demand for electricity by 5,200MW, purchasing 3,100MW of cleaner electricity from independent power producers, and installing pollution control measures at its coal-fired power plants in Nanticoke and Sarnia.
		Ontario’s Government is currently pressing the US to reduce the emissions from its coal-fired power plants.

	Niagara Falls History of Power
		No suitable way to transmit the power had been developed and a decision as to what type of motor that would be used in power generation had not yet been made.
		Power generated was transmitted to locations within the U.S.A. Niagara Falls continued to generate electricity by steam until 1912.
		It was the largest single power failure in history that plunged thirty million people (one-sixth of the population of the North American) in eight American states and the eastern portion of Ontario into total darkness.

		There was a time when Ontario was the one to take the initial action on air pollution and provoke reaction in the U.S.A., when their record was worse than ours.
		At a news conference in Buffalo Thursday, Spitzer claimed Ontario pollution is having a major impact on the air quality and health of New York residents and accused the government of failing to enforce its own environmental protection laws.
		Ontario Environment Ministry spokesman John Steele refused to respond directly to the petition, but pointed out the province is on target to reduce emissions by 53 per cent by 2007, partly by installing new control systems at the coal-fired stations, which are planned to be phased out entirely by 2015.

	AIM PowerGen Corporation - Ontario's Electricity Market
		From 1920 until 1960, Ontario Hydro developed several large hydro (hence the utility’s moniker) and thermal power plants, backstopped by the Government’s balance sheet, to meet the surging demand for electricity.
		Ontario Hydro embraced the technology and over a 20 year period constructed three large-scale nuclear power facilities.
		By 2020 virtually all of Ontario’s nuclear fleet, representing almost half of current generation capacity, will reach the end of its planned life and need to be replaced, refurbished or retired.

		Ontario is also using incentives and new regulations to promote energy conservation.
		The NDP agrees that Hydro One and Ontario's municipal utilities should be required to aggressively promote energy conservation to reduce their customers' energy bills and to help phase-out Ontario Power Generation's coal-fired power plants.
		Through a combination of energy efficiency, distributed generation, new renewable power sources and the construction of high-efficiency natural gas generating stations, we can phase out coal and reduce the health impacts of smog at a small monthly cost ($2-$3) for the average residential consumer.

	Electricity generation in Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Electricity is generated at 14 hydro, coal, oil, diesel, nuclear and Orimulsion®, powered stations, with an installed net capacity of 3,313 MW comprised of 1,903 MW thermal, 884 MW hydro and 526 MW of combustion turbine capacity.
		One of the Ontario government's election promises was to close down by 2007 all of the coal-fired generating stations because of their air pollution, but this has been delayed pending their replacement.
		Previously a similar massive 4-volume report "Balance of Power" was published in 1989 by the then Ontario Hydro, covering the estimated requirements until 2014, but because of the recession in the early 1990s, and the consequent unforeseen reduction of electricity demand, the recommendations of that report were not implemented.

	Ontario Power Generation urges quick action on nuclear recommendations
		TORONTO (CP) - Ontario Power Generation is ready and waiting to build more nuclear reactors and its Darlington station is the best place to do it, according a top official of the Crown corporation.
		He noted that Ontario Power Generation's efforts to restore Unit 4 at the Pickering A facility cost $1.25 billion, almost three times the original projected cost.
		But including the Bruce refurbishment and a recent refurbishment at OPG's Pickering A station, only 3,500 MW of nuclear are scheduled to be in place by 2025.

	Ontario Power Generation and bankruptcy? (2003)
		Ontario Power Generation has patted its pockets and observed, like so many of us at this time of year, that it is out of cash and only the proverbial lump of coal remains.
		Bingham joined OPG in March, 1999, that critical time frame when OPG was talking excitedly about the move to a "fully competitive electricity industry in Ontario." In September of that year, OPG commenced the "decontrol" process, contemplating a host of options, from a public float of its shares to asset sales.
		If Manley is going to propose a future structure for the corporation, and that's his committee's task, he's got to know such numbers essentials as the $700 million that OPG was to repay to the Ontario Electricity Financial Corp. in 2003 and 2004.
