Ontario Refurbishing Hydroelectric Stations in Niagara

NIAGARA FALLS – The Ontario government is supporting Ontario Power Generation’s (OPG) plan to refurbish its hydroelectric stations in the Niagara region, including the Sir Adam Beck Complex at Niagara Falls. This $1 billion dollar infrastructure program would secure up to 1,700 megawatts (MW) of clean electricity, equivalent to powering 1.7 million homes, helping to meet increasing demand from electrification and fueling the province’s growth.

For more than 100 years hydroelectric power from Niagara Falls has powered our province, and with today’s investment we’re extending the life of these stations by another 30 years.

The refurbished Sir Adam Beck Generating Stations will additionally provide 200 good-paying jobs over the 15 year life of the project.

This refurbishment program – in partnership with Ontario Power Generation and GE Vernova – is part of our Powering Ontario’s Growth plan and will ensure we have the power for the next major international investment, the new homes we are building and industries as they grow and electrify.

Unlike previous government’s that drove up the cost of power, we’re investing in clean, reliable and affordable power from nuclear and hydroelectric to keep bills down.
