An Ontario Power Generation report to the province says new dams need to be built in Northern Ontario to meet the province's anticipated demand for electricity
THUNDER BAY — Ontario Power Generation wants to resurrect a decades-old proposal for a hydro power project north of Lake NIpigon.
A combination of factors will drive this, including electric vehicles, economic growth, and population growth in southern Ontario. "I think the stars are aligning in terms of the move to green energy in the province, also the interest of the First Nations communities around the lake in working with us," said project manager Murray Paterson. "I think the time is right for the project now."
"Significant investment of time and resources has been made towards completing the environmental assessment process, as well as a shared equity partnership between OPG and six Lake Nipigon First Nations," it says. Building generating stations and transmitting the power to where it's needed can be extremely costly, but the OPG report puts a lot of emphasis on the durability of hydro dams and their economic spin-offs.
