Creating More Clean Energy In The North

Northern Ontario's first major hydroelectric project in 40 years will provide more clean power to Ontarians and create up to 800 construction jobs.

This project is part of the province's plan to boost the local economy and deliver a strong and reliable energy supply.

Work at the Ontario Power Generation (OPG) Lower Mattagami River Hydroelectric Project has already started, with 300 people already on-site.                        

The project will add almost 440 megawatts of clean, renewable power to the province's energy supply. When complete, the project will produce enough electricity each year to power over 300,000 homes - almost double the population of Greater Sudbury.

The project will take about five years to complete and more than two-thirds of the work is expected to be done by northern Ontarians. Moose Cree First Nation, as a partner of OPG, will have up to a 25 per cent equity share in the project.

This project supports the province's five-year Open Ontario plan to strengthen the economy, create more jobs and develop more clean energy.
