From Kenora to Cornwall and from Niagara Falls to Timmins, OPG and our 11,000 employees are sending our positive energy to Team Canada 🍁 From powering life's biggest moments to the world's biggest game, OPG is proud to be playing a role in today's historic match #GoCanadaGo

As the soccer world descends on Toronto, the world will get a glimpse of one of the city’s biggest strengths: its diversity. At OPG, we take pride in our diversity as well. Not just in the makeup of our workforce, but also our generating fleet – which stands as one of the most diverse in North America. From always-on nuclear and renewable hydro to flexible natural gas, solar, and biomass, OPG’s generation meets Ontario’s needs around the clock, rain, snow, or shine. It’s this diversity in power that gives Ontario a competitive advantage. #GoCanadaGo #WeAreToronto

For this #HeritageHighlight, we spotlight OPG's DeCew Falls I Generating Station, the longest-serving hydroelectric facility in our fleet. Located at the base of the Niagara Escarpment in south St. Catharines, DeCew Falls I has been generating clean, reliable power for Ontario for 128 years. With four units, the plant is capable of generating more than 20 megawatts of electricity, enough to power about 20,000 homes. The historic station is named after an equally historic figure - John DeCou, a pioneer settler in the Niagara Peninsula and a commissioned militia officer in the War of 1812. His home became a headquarters for the British Army, and was the place where Laura Secord delivered her famous warning of an impending American surprise attack in June 1813. OPG is proud to keep this important piece of Ontario’s hydro history operating reliably.

Is it ever okay to leave early if your team is losing? OPG's Rick Amaral takes a kick at a few soccer hot takes in our "Goal or No Goal" series ⚽ Let us know if you think he's onside (or offside) with these takes!

Join us on June 10 to learn more about OPG's Pickering Nuclear Licence Renewal application. We have submitted an early application to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) requesting renewal and consolidation of Pickering Nuclear's Power Reactor Operating Licence and the Pickering Waste Management Facility's Waste Facility Operating Licence for a 10-year term from Jan. 1, 2027, to Dec. 31, 2036. This application includes plans to refurbish Units 5 to 8 to support continued operations for 30-plus years and progress the decommissioning of Units 1 to 4 - work that will help provide reliable, clean electricity for Ontario and support the province’s energy future.

There's a buzz in the air as we're only 6 days away from FIFA World Cup 2026™ Toronto! From living rooms to the stands and to the pitch, OPG is ready to superpower the passion this summer. Toronto's soccer moment is almost here.

Meet the engineers set to superpower Ontario's future! This month, 47 new engineering graduates were welcomed to OPG and got their first glimpse of life at the company. During their onboarding at the Darlington Energy Complex, the talented grads connected with OPG engineers, received training, and prepared to begin their exciting journeys. A few also shared what attracted them to OPG and what they're most looking forward to. Interested in joining their ranks? See how you can help superpower the future at opg.com/build.

Who's superpowering the passion at OPG? Meet Rick, Head of Creative, soccer nut, and currently torn between allegiances. Will it be Canada or Portugal? We'll have to see on game day!

Meet mechanical technician Heather Ferguson, who currently works at OPG’s Chenaux Generating Station in southeastern Ontario. She has a simple message to young people trying to get into the trades: Don’t ever give up. It's a message she has taken to heart over her own career. After finishing college and completing co-ops in the mining industry, she expanded her trades skillset before landing an apprenticeship as a millwright and eventually a role at OPG. “I didn’t really know what I wanted to do at first. But then I really found my calling on tools and equipment," she says. Read her story: bit.ly/3RISVHM

Hydro and nuclear superpower life in Ontario. Together, they meet ~75% of the province's electricity needs, providing the reliable, clean, and affordable foundation for the future. ​ OPG is now working to strengthen this backbone of our grid. We're refurbishing and redeveloping our hydro and nuclear stations. We're constructing the G7's first Small Modular Reactor. And we're exploring new nuclear and hydro generation for the future.​ Together, hydro and nuclear will remain the power couple that makes Ontario an energy superpower.

This summer, OPG is super powering your soccer passion! As an Official Toronto World Cup Host City Supporter, we’re hosting watch parties where friends, families, and neighbours can come together to catch the match and enjoy fun, interactive activities. Grab your crew and join us for an OPG Community Watch Party in Cornwall, Thunder Bay, Darlington, or Pickering. Attendance is free, but space is limited and registration is required - sign up today: bit.ly/4udzuo6

The countdown is on ⚽ We're only 14 days away from kick-off in Toronto. As an Official Toronto World Cup 2026 Host City Supporter, OPG is ready to superpower the passion this summer. Are you getting hyped yet?

You’d be hard-pressed to find someone more passionate about welding than OPG’s Erik Dickerson.​ It started in Grade 6 when his dad brought him to a neighbour’s garage to watch a trailer being welded. One spark, and he was hooked.​ Today, Erik is paying that moment forward. As a teacher, mentor, and proud trades advocate, he’s helping the next generation discover the power of skilled trades while keeping OPG’s Chats Falls hydro station running strong as a Trades Management Supervisor.​ “When you become obsessed with something you love, it’s no longer work,” he says.​ Learn more: bit.ly/4wPEKRm

Nuclear superpowers healthcare.​ From sterilizing medical devices to diagnosing and treating illnesses like cancer, nuclear medicine helps save lives and protects the health of millions here and around the world.​ And it wouldn't be possible without Ontario’s nuclear generating fleet, which produces the critical isotopes that enable powerful treatments and diagnostics. ​ It’s one more reason Ontario’s electricity is our superpower.

On International Day for Biological Diversity, OPG is proud to spotlight our decades-long partnership with @DUContario (DUC). What began as a major wetland restoration project at OPG’s Lennox Generating Station in 1981 has grown into a meaningful collaboration that’s helped conserve and restore important wetlands across Ontario — supporting biodiversity while also strengthening natural flood mitigation. In 2020, OPG collaborated with TC Energy to expand the Lennox wetland habitat near Napanee, a priority region for wildlife conservation. Developed with consultation from DUC, the wetland now helps manage nearby agricultural runoff while also serving as a habitat oasis for waterfowl and other birds, including herons.

Public Notice 📢 A barge is now in place south of Pickering Nuclear Station until early June to support continued geotechnical assessments for the refurbishment planning. A refurbished Pickering will play an important role in supporting the province's future growth and electrification. Learn more: bit.ly/4wHOE7t

In this #HeritageHighlight, we go back to the 1960s when a true nuclear pioneer began to take shape on the shores of Lake Ontario. Construction on OPG's Pickering Nuclear Generating Station started in 1965, kicking off a legacy of clean, reliable power that continues to this very day. The station's first units began producing power in 1971, with more units coming online through the '70s and '80s. Today, we're writing the next chapter in Pickering Nuclear's story as we plan for the refurbishment of the station's Units 5 to 8. Ontario's next major nuclear refurbishment project will secure more than 2,100 MW of clean, reliable power and create thousands of jobs. Learn more about the station and its future: bit.ly/4dQYIn7

Congratulations to OPG subsidiary @aturapower on the commissioning of the new Napanee Battery Energy Storage System. This is an important step to enhancing the reliability and resilience of Ontario's grid for the years ahead.
