Ontario Power Generation (OPG), the leading
generator and seller of electrical power in
Ontario, has embarked on the construction
of the north’s largest hydroelectric generating
project in 40 years. The $2.6 billion Lower
Mattagami Project is slated to increase the
supply of clean, renewable power to Ontario
by approximately 440 megawatts, providing
enough electrical power to serve between
330,000 to 440,000 homes. In addition, the
project will bring hundreds of jobs to the area.
