Atura Power’s natural gas-fired generating stations ensure that Ontario’s lights never go out. Natural gas was chosen for its flexibility, reliability and because of the important role it plays in supporting the transition to more sources of renewable energy.
As Ontario refurbishes its nuclear fleet and brings more renewable energy online, a bridge solution is needed to ensure that there’s enough electricity to meet moments of peak demand, like hot summer days when every air conditioner in the province is turned on.
Atura Power is investing in critical upgrades and efficiency improvements, guaranteeing that our fleet is as reliable and efficient as possible.
Brighton Beach Generating Station
Located in Windsor, Ontario’s historic Sandwich neighbourhood along the Detroit River, the Brighton Beach Generating Station (BBGS) was commissioned in July 2004. The combined cycle gas turbine powerplant can provide up to 607 megawatts of reliable and affordable electricity – enough to power about 607,000 homes and businesses – when needed most.
The station features two General Electric gas turbines and a General Electric steam turbine.
Halton Hills Generating Station
Located in the beautiful Town of Halton Hills, Ont., along Highway 401, the Halton Hills Generating Station (HHGS) began operating in September 2010. With an output of up to 711 megawatts, the combined cycle gas turbine powerplant can safely and reliably produce enough electricity to power about 700,000 homes and businesses no matter the weather.
The station is equipped with two Ontario-made Siemens gas turbines, and an Alstom steam turbine.
Napanee Generating Station
Located on the Lake Ontario shore in picturesque Napanee, Ont., the Napanee Generating Station is the newest and largest powerplant in our fleet. Commissioned in March 2020, the 900-megawatt combined cycle gas turbine generating station features two Mitsubishi gas turbines and a Mitsubishi steam turbine, and can electrify about 900,000 homes and businesses to meet peak demand and backup weather-dependant renewables.
Portlands Energy Centre
Located in Toronto's Port Lands, the Portlands Energy Centre (PEC) has helped keep the lights on since April 2009, generating up to 624 megawatts of electricity when needed. The combined cycle gas turbine generating station is powered by two GE gas turbines and an Alstom steam turbine.
Atura Power is committed to the health and safety of our community. The latest Monthly Public Engagement Report, part of the Environmental Compliance Approval issued by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks for PEC, is below.
