Ontario Power Generation showcases renovation progress at new corporate headquarters in Oshawa

Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has unveiled new property signage and highlighted some of the major renovation work underway at the company’s future corporate headquarters located at 1908 Colonel Sam Drive in Oshawa.

The corporate headquarters will bring over 2,000 highly skilled staff from across the Greater Toronto Area, and beyond, together in Oshawa, close to current OPG operations in Durham Region at the Pickering and Darlington Nuclear Generating Stations.

OPG staff will begin moving into the building in 2024, with full occupancy in 2025.

OPG chose to renovate an existing structure, which is more economical than constructing a new building and limits the environmental impact. The new headquarters will encompass a 26,433 square metre (284,522 square foot) office building on 29.94 hectares (74 acres) of land.  

OPG is Ontario’s largest clean power generator and one of the most diverse generators in North America.
