Description

Nuclear power meets more than 50 per cent of Ontario’s electricity needs. It has two major benefits — low operating costs and virtually none of the emissions that lead to smog, acid rain or global warming. These benefits make nuclear a very attractive option for meeting the province’s electricity needs well into the future.

Ontario Power Generation owns and operates the Pickering and Darlington Nuclear Power Stations. The two stations have a combined generating capacity of about 6,600 megawatts.
