Ontario Pursuing New Hydroelectric Stations in Northern Ontario

• Electricity demand in Northern Ontario is expected to surge by 81% by 2050. We anticipate a 75% demand increase across the province.

• We are taking action to generate more affordable and clean power by supporting early development work for Ontario’s first expansion of large-scale hydroelectricity in 10 years.

• The two new hydroelectric stations in the Moose River Basin will generate up to 430 MW, enough to power 430,000 homes.

• The Nine Mile Rapids and Grand Rapids stations will create thousands of local, good-paying jobs, strengthen the electricity grid, and ensure localized power is available for resource, mining, and industrial growth across the North.

• The world has changed with President Trump’s election. Ontario is uniquely positioned to succeed in this geopolitical shift, generating more power, exporting clean tech to the world, and accelerating critical mineral development.

• This expansion is part of Ontario’s $4.7 billion investment in hydroelectricity, securing 5,000 MW of clean electricity and supporting over 2,000 jobs across the province.

• Under Premier Ford’s leadership, Ontario is securing its energy future, creating jobs, and ensuring a reliable, affordable energy supply that powers Canadian jobs and fuels Canadian growth.
