OPG by Location p3
2018 System Generation / Capacity p4
Safe. Clean. Reliable.
• There is no greater priority than public and employee
safety. It guides everything we do.
• As a publicly-owned generator, we strive to contribute to
the well-being of our host communities.
• The power we generate is more than 90% free of smog and
carbon emissions.
• OPG’s electricity is about 40 per cent less expensive than
the average of all other ON generators.
• Helps reduce overall cost of electricity for Ontarians while
our profits return to the Province.
p5
Safety is our Top Priority
Water Safety
• World class leader in dam safety.
• Work with host communities, conservation authorities,
provincial agencies, watershed management and flood
response/emergency management
Nuclear Safety
• Our stations operate inside the strictest of standards and
regulatory requirements
• OPG is responsible for developing and maintaining
Emergency Plans
• Through the Durham Emergency Management Office, local
municipalities have emergency plans in place to implement
the provincial plan
p6
Indigenous Partnerships
• Proud of the many relationships we have built with
Indigenous communities across the province.
• We remain committed to building and growing these long-
term, mutually beneficial working relationships that help
build communities and provide employment opportunities.
• Our relationships have laid the groundwork for a series of
successful generation development partnerships
• Lac Seul GS
• Lower Mattagami Redevelopment
• Peter Sutherland Sr. GS
• Nanticoke Solar

Renewable Generation across Ontario p8
Darlington Nuclear
Nuclear across Ontario
OPG’s currently has 5,826 MW of in-service
generating capacity and over 5,000
employees
• OPG Nuclear Facilities
• Pickering – 3, 100 MW
• Darlington – 3,512 MW
• Bruce Power site (leased)
• Western Waste Management Facility
Bruce Power

Pickering Nuclear
Benefits of Nuclear
• Ontario phased out coal plants in 2014 (remains North America's
largest climate change action initiative)
• Today, 60% of Ontario electricity comes from non-emitting nuclear
energy:
•Clean – zero carbon emissions.
•Safe – excellent safety record.
•Reliable – always available.
•Low cost – OPG price is 40% lower than other generators.
• OPG has 45 years’ experience of safely processing and storing
nuclear waste
• OPG is committed to continuing nuclear in the province, by investing
in Pickering NGS and Darlington Refurbishment

Responsible Nuclear Waste
Management
• OPG is committed to finding long-term solutions to the
nuclear waste from the Darlington, Pickering and Bruce
nuclear sites
• In 2005, OPG submitted a proposal to regulators, to build a
DGR at the Bruce nuclear site
• The DGR would safely store low- and intermediate-level
waste 680 metres (2,230 feet) underground in ancient, dry,
stable rock
• The DGR is three times deeper than Lake Huron –and far
below any groundwater
• Municipality of Kincardine is a willing host community
p16Three Types of Nuclear Waste
Low-level Intermediate-level High-level
Clothing, small tools, Resins, filters, Used fuel rods
paper, plastic, wood used reactor components (spent uranium)
Radioactive for Radioactive for Radioactive for
100 to 300 years 100,000 years 1 million years
Destined for OPG’s proposed DGR Destined for a separate
at the Bruce site repository, to be sited by 2023
p17Growing Our Business
• Nanticoke Solar (Haldimand County)
• 44 MW energy partnership w/ Six Nations of the Grand
River Development Corp. & Mississaugas of the Credit
First Nation
• Ranney Falls GS (Campbellford)
• New 10 MW unit, new powerhouse, upgraded
transmission
• Capacity will double to 20 MW and supply up to 10,000
homes with clean, renewable power
• Scheduled for in-service Dec. 2019
• Eagle Creek Renewable Energy + Cube Hydro
• Wholly-owned subsidiaries
• 84 hydroelectric generating facilities
• Minority shareholdings in some hydroelectric and solar
facilities in the United States
p18Electrification OPG is investing in energy assets to support electrification, reduce emissions, and increase use of off-peak resources. Our solutions help customers manage energy costs, provide resiliency, and make electrification simple. 1. Making Electric Vehicle (EV) charging in Ontario easy, seamless, and reliable for EV drivers through networked public fast charging and other services. 2. Enabling fleet and transit electrification by providing energy infrastructure including chargers, storage, controls, and management. 3. Exploring opportunities to become a supplier of clean hydrogen for transportation.
Gas
• In July 2019, OPG entered into a purchase agreement with
affiliates of TC Energy (formerly TransCanada Corporation) and
Canadian Utilities Limited
• Subject to customary closing adjustments and standing regulatory
approval, OPG will now have full ownership of:
• 100% ownership of Napanee Generating Station (900 MW)
• 100% ownership of Halton Hills Generating Station (683 MW)
• Remaining 50% ownership of Toronto’s Portlands Energy Centre
(50% of 550 MW)
• Remaining 50% ownership of the Brighton Beach Generating
Station ( Canadian Utilities Limited)
• Future profits generated from these assets will stay in Ontario for
the benefit of Ontarians
p20Isotopes
• Since 1940’s Canada has been a global leader in producing
isotopes
• OPG currently produces Colbalt-60, Deuterium, and Tritium
• In as early as 2020, Darlington Nuclear will be the only source
of Molybdenum-99 in North America
• Radioisotopes are used for screening, diagnosis and therapy
of various medical conditions
• OPG’s subsidiary, Canadian Nuclear Partners, is investigating
the production of new isotopes such as:
• Helium-3 and
• Plutonium-238
• Helium-3
p21New Nuclear Opportunities
