Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is a public company wholly owned by Government of Ontario. OPG is responsible for approximately 60% of the electricity generation in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Sources of electricity include nuclear, hydroelectric, wind, solar and fossil fuel. Although Ontario has an open electricity market, the provincial government, as OPG's sole shareholder, regulated the price the company receives for its electricity to be less than the market average, in an attempt to stabilize prices. As of 1 April 2008, the company's rates have been regulated by the Ontario Energy Board.

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or generation:
“What breadth, what beauty and power of human nature and development there must be in a woman to get over all the palisades, all the fences, within which she is held captive!”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“... the generation of the 20’s was truly secular in that it still knew its theology and its varieties of religious experience. We are post-secular, inventing new faiths, without any sense of organizing truths. The truths we accept are so multiple that honesty becomes little more than a strategy by which you manage your tendencies toward duplicity.”
—Ann Douglas (b. 1942)
