Nuclear Power Plants in Ontario Close to Toronto

Nuclear

Nuclear power accounts for almost half of Ontario's power generation, and represents the 'baseload' of its power supply. The government plans to maintain nuclear power's role in energy generation through to 2025. Ontario currently has 16 nuclear units in operation. These reactors amount to 11,400 MW of generation capacity and are located at three sites. The stations were constructed by the provincial Crown corporation, Ontario Hydro. In April 1999 Ontario Hydro was split into 5 component Crown corporations with Ontario Power Generation (OPG) taking over all electrical generating stations.
