OPG’s Sir Adam Beck II Generating Station
The stations collectively produced 13.75TWh of electricity, enough to power approximately one million homes for a year. This figure exceeded the 1979 record by 0.17TWh, helping meet the province’s growing electricity demands.
OPG’s Niagara Operations include the Sir Adam Beck I and II Generating Stations (GS), Sir Adam Beck Pump GS, and DeCew I and II GS. Together, these facilities provide about 10% of Ontario’s energy needs annually.
“While the record is for 2024, it was achieved on many years of building on our successes and ensuring we are always learning and striving to improve,” said Eric Jury, Director of Plant Operations for OPG’s Niagara Operations.
The Sir Adam Beck stations played a key role in setting the new record, generating 13.0 TWh and surpassing their own station-specific record from 1979.
In addition to increased generation, OPG’s Niagara employees exceeded targets for work protection, health, and safety in 2024. Reliability and project performance for the Niagara fleet also surpassed expectations, contributing to OPG’s highest hydroelectric output in 15 years.
Looking ahead, OPG plans to invest billions in refurbishing its hydroelectric units across the province to support Ontario’s electrification and economic growth with reliable, low-carbon power.
