Five years ago today, we burned our last piece of coal. It remains the world’s single largest climate change action to date.

Lambton GS was safely imploded today. It was part of OPG’s coal closure, which remains one of the world’s single largest climate change actions. We now look to decarbonize the future with our clean hydro, a refurbished Darlington Nuclear and our planned Small Modular Reactor.

Jamie feels right at home in the cold waters around our generating stations. She's been part of our dive team, inspecting the intakes underwater at our hydro and nuclear stations since 2017. 🌊 bit.ly/2JbKf5A

It’s the end of an era. Today the former Nanticoke coal powerhouse was safely demolished. The site is now home to a solar facility developed in partnership with local First Nations. bit.ly/2His3XU #CleanPower 📸AIM-Delsan/Concrete Pictures

Darlington Unit 2 has reached 100% full power. It’s the first time in more than 30 years that a newly rebuilt reactor is generating clean electricity for Ontario. Thanks to all who were part of this historic journey. bit.ly/3csOztP #PowerON #DarlingtonRefurb
