<strong>Power</strong>Within<br />
Achievement<br />
Awards<br />
On May 9, 2013, 43 OPG employees<br />
were recognized as <strong>to</strong>p performers at the<br />
annual <strong>Power</strong>Within Achievement Awards<br />
celebration held at head office. Their<br />
names and the details of their impressive<br />
accomplishments are available on the<br />
<strong>Power</strong>Within intranet site and on the OPG<br />
pensioners’ website.<br />
Q1 2013 FINANCIALS<br />
OPG reported its first quarter net income of $28 million in 2013, compared<br />
<strong>to</strong> $154 million in 2012.<br />
The decrease was primarily due <strong>to</strong> lower earnings from the Nuclear Funds, and<br />
higher OM&A expenses. This increase in OM&A was primarily a result of two fac<strong>to</strong>rs:<br />
the establishment of a regula<strong>to</strong>ry deferral account in 2012, which lowered last year’s<br />
other post-employment benefit expenses; and higher nuclear OM&A in 2013 due <strong>to</strong><br />
increased outage activity. The decrease in net income was partially offset by an increase<br />
in unregulated hydroelectric revenues due <strong>to</strong> higher spot market prices.<br />
President and CEO Tom Mitchell noted that despite lower first-quarter net income<br />
compared <strong>to</strong> last year, OPG “continues <strong>to</strong> moderate the overall prices paid by Ontarians<br />
for their electricity.” He also stated that there were several other successes in the first<br />
quarter that will benefit consumers, one of the most significant being the 10.2 kilometre<br />
Niagara Tunnel, which was completed nine months ahead of the revised schedule and<br />
under the revised budget of $1.6 billion.<br />
Total electricity generated during the first quarter of 2013 was 21.1 TWh compared <strong>to</strong><br />
22.0 TWh for the same period in 2012. The slight decrease was mainly due <strong>to</strong> lower<br />
nuclear generation, partially offset by higher thermal generation.<br />

Darling<strong>to</strong>n’s Campus Plan<br />
Darling<strong>to</strong>n Nuclear’s Campus Plan is about getting the site infrastructure<br />
right, being ready for refurbishment and lining ourselves up <strong>to</strong> run the<br />
station safely, reliably and economically for another 30 years.<br />
Consisting of over $600 million in new facilities and safety improvements, this plan is a<br />
compilation of all the activities that have been, or are being, planned and executed<br />
on site <strong>to</strong> prepare for Darling<strong>to</strong>n’s refurbishment and continued operation. Currently,<br />
70 projects are underway and 150 additional projects are scheduled over the next<br />
three years.<br />
Darling<strong>to</strong>n Nuclear’s new maintenance building, shown here as an artist’s rendering, is part of<br />
a $600 million investment in new facilities and safety improvements over a three-year period <strong>to</strong><br />
prepare for the Darling<strong>to</strong>n refurbishment and continued operation.<br />
The Campus Plan covers the buildings, parking, and water and sewer services needed <strong>to</strong> support the people who are being brought in for refurbishment. A great deal of work is<br />
SEPTEMBER 2012<br />
scheduled for 2013, including the start of construction on the new boiler house, contrac<strong>to</strong>r facilities, electrical distribution station and new used-fuel dry s<strong>to</strong>rage building. Also in 2013,<br />
work will begin on new parking at the west end of the site, and the new maintenance building will be finished.<br />

The new Darling<strong>to</strong>n Energy Complex (DEC) is not technically part of the Darling<strong>to</strong>n Campus Plan, but is a key element in the refurbishment project. Housing hundreds of employees, it<br />
will be the processing site for the project’s contrac<strong>to</strong>rs, and home <strong>to</strong> the new Darling<strong>to</strong>n Information Centre. Most importantly, it will house a mock-up and training facility that includes<br />
a replica of a Darling<strong>to</strong>n reac<strong>to</strong>r. Every worker involved in the refurbishment outages will first train on the specialized <strong>to</strong>oling and reac<strong>to</strong>r mock-up. Construction of the DEC is nearly<br />
complete, tracking under budget and ahead of schedule. Staff will begin moving in<strong>to</strong> the building in June.<br />

Pickering<br />
Relicensing Hearing<br />
OPG’s Monica Jain (left) and Raihan Khondker (right) participated in a speed men<strong>to</strong>ring event in April.<br />
You may have heard of speed dating, but have you heard<br />
of speed men<strong>to</strong>ring? OPG nuclear engineers Monica Jain,<br />
Saeed Siahpoushan, and Raihan Khondker got some firsthand<br />
experience in April when they participated in a speed<br />
men<strong>to</strong>ring event in Toron<strong>to</strong>.<br />
Speed men<strong>to</strong>ring is a concept that has been refined<br />
by ACCES Employment, a non-profit organization that<br />
connects employers with qualified employees from diverse<br />
backgrounds. The concept is simple: employers sit at a desk<br />
and every 10 minutes they are presented with a new job<br />
seeker <strong>to</strong> whom they provide advice, guidance and tips.<br />
OPG became involved with speed men<strong>to</strong>ring through our<br />
affiliation with the Licensing International Engineers in<strong>to</strong><br />
the Profession (LIEP) program. Offered by the University of<br />
Toron<strong>to</strong>’s School of Continuing Studies, the program helps<br />
internationally educated engineers gain a Professional<br />
Engineer (P.Eng.) licence and employment in <strong>Ontario</strong>.<br />
“It’s essential that OPG participates in programs like this,”<br />
says Nirav Patel, OPG Manager of Recruitment and Diversity.<br />
“While we may not be hiring in great numbers at this time, we<br />
need <strong>to</strong> ensure our talent pipelines are strong and diverse.<br />
We offer a great deal of indirect employment in <strong>Ontario</strong>, and<br />
this work reinforces our commitment <strong>to</strong> diversity.”<br />
“The program is a lovely way <strong>to</strong> help newcomers <strong>to</strong> Canada<br />
and give them feedback, guidance, sec<strong>to</strong>r insight, and a<br />
perspective on the Canadian work culture,” adds Khondker,<br />
Project Engineer at Darling<strong>to</strong>n Refurbishment.<br />
The program benefits employers like OPG by strengthening<br />
our corporate diversity and helps employees by offering<br />
men<strong>to</strong>ring opportunities.<br />
“This experience allowed me <strong>to</strong> improve my coaching and<br />
leadership skills by working with individuals from different<br />
backgrounds and with different personality types,” says<br />
Jain, Assistant Technical Engineer/Officer at Darling<strong>to</strong>n<br />
Refurbishment.<br />
The LIEP program plans <strong>to</strong> <strong>launch</strong> an online men<strong>to</strong>ring <strong>to</strong>ol.<br />

<strong>to</strong> participate, please contact Nirav Patel.<br />
Watch for OPG’s New Water<br />
Safety Campaign<br />
OPG recently <strong>launch</strong>ed the first of two new water safety<br />
television ads as part of its new water safety campaign.<br />
The ad is designed <strong>to</strong> illustrate the dangers of fishing<br />
near dams and hydroelectric stations. To make the ad, the<br />
crea<strong>to</strong>rs constructed an entire miniature world consisting of<br />
a small-scale hydro station, river, fishermen, and surrounding<br />
countryside.<br />
The 30-second TV ad will air over the summer across <strong>Ontario</strong><br />
and will be complemented by a print and online campaign.<br />
For more information, visit www.stayclearstaysafe.ca.<br />
In a recent three-day hearing <strong>to</strong> renew the Pickering<br />
Nuclear licence, OPG received an unprecedented amount<br />
of support from community partners. Local business,<br />
community leaders, and members of the community wrote<br />
letters and spoke in support of Pickering Nuclear.<br />
Stakeholder and public involvement is a key part of<br />
the relicensing hearing process, and this portion of the<br />
relicensing process highlights the trust OPG has earned by<br />
operating safely and reliably for over 40 years in Durham<br />
Region – contributing <strong>to</strong> meeting the energy needs of the<br />
people of <strong>Ontario</strong> with virtually emission-free power.<br />
The three-day hearing, which was held at the City of<br />
Pickering’s Recreation Complex from May 29 <strong>to</strong> 31, was the<br />
final step in the hearing process for OPG’s application <strong>to</strong><br />
the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) for the<br />
renewal of the Pickering Nuclear operating licence for a<br />
five-year period.<br />
The first day of the Pickering Nuclear Relicensing hearing<br />
<strong>to</strong>ok place on Feb. 20 in Ottawa, where we confirmed the<br />
safety of our nuclear facilities.<br />
Pickering Nuclear’s reac<strong>to</strong>rs are strong performers in<br />
safety and reliability. During the current operating licence,<br />
Pickering has improved worker safety, public safety,<br />
radiological protection, environmental performance,<br />
human performance, and equipment reliability. In 2012<br />
Pickering achieved its best performance since return <strong>to</strong><br />
service, and marked over 10 million hours worked without a<br />
lost-time accident.<br />

St. Lawrence <strong>Power</strong> Development Visi<strong>to</strong>r Centre receives<br />
LEED Gold Certification<br />
OPG was awarded its first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design –<br />
or LEED – Gold Certification by the Canada Green Building Council for the St.<br />
Lawrence <strong>Power</strong> Development Visi<strong>to</strong>r Centre, located east of RH Saunders GS in<br />
Cornwall.<br />
To attain this distinction, OPG ensured that environmental sustainability and<br />
efficiency were part of the design and construction, including selecting a sustainable<br />
site, recycling construction material, and using ground-source heat which pumps<br />
heat <strong>to</strong> or from the ground. The centre can be accessed by bike paths, and also has<br />
bike racks and charging stations for electric cars.<br />
“Earning this certification is in line with OPG’s commitment <strong>to</strong> the environment and<br />
sustainable construction,” said Bruce Robertson, Plant Manager at RH Saunders<br />
GS. “We are very proud of the building and are happy with what we’ve achieved.”<br />
Pictured with the LEED Gold Certificate are, from left, OPG’s Bruce Burwell; Holman Exhibits’<br />

Pickering achieves new safety miles<strong>to</strong>ne<br />
On May 1, Pickering Nuclear achieved a new<br />
safety miles<strong>to</strong>ne of 10 million hours without a<br />
lost-time injury.<br />
“Reaching this level of safety performance<br />
is a clear demonstration of our collective<br />
commitment <strong>to</strong> safety and our strong safety<br />
culture,” said Pickering Nuclear Site Vice<br />
President Glenn Jager at an event <strong>to</strong> mark the<br />
occasion.<br />
Congratulations <strong>to</strong> station staff who have worked<br />
without a disabling injury since May 2011.<br />

“<strong>Get</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Know</strong>” Launch<br />
This year, Darling<strong>to</strong>n and Pickering Nuclear began a partnership with<br />
the <strong>Get</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Know</strong> program, founded by celebrated Canadian wildlife<br />
artist Robert Bateman. In addition <strong>to</strong> sponsoring the Durham Region<br />
<strong>Get</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Know</strong> Contest, OPG and its staff will be working with a variety<br />
of local partners <strong>to</strong> encourage youth <strong>to</strong> get outdoors <strong>to</strong> connect with<br />
nature, create art <strong>to</strong> foster a more personal relationship with nature, and<br />
celebrate their commitment <strong>to</strong> the environment.<br />
Launched in British Columbia in 2000, this program encourages youth <strong>to</strong><br />
get outdoors and explore nature through art. Today, the program works<br />
with partners across Canada and the U.S. <strong>to</strong> deliver innovative initiatives<br />
that educate, inspire, and empower young people <strong>to</strong> take care of the<br />
planet.<br />
On May 22, <strong>to</strong> coincide with the International Day of Biodiversity,<br />
Potter Robin Blake (centre) from A Gift of Art Darling<strong>to</strong>n and Pickering Nuclear hosted a <strong>Get</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Know</strong> <strong>launch</strong> event<br />
in Newcastle helped lead Grades 5/6 students<br />
at Thickson Woods Land Trust in Whitby. Working with experts from<br />
through a modelling clay activity at Thickson<br />
Woods Land Trust in Whitby.<br />
Thickson Woods, two Grade 5/6 classes learned about the importance<br />
of habitat and participated in a guided biodiversity hike that included a<br />
sighting of great horned owls and a chickadee feeding. With an eye <strong>to</strong> their surroundings and the help of artists from A Gift of<br />
Art in Newcastle, students got their creative juices flowing with pho<strong>to</strong>graphy, drawing, painting, and modelling clay. Most have<br />
uploaded their artwork <strong>to</strong> the Durham Region <strong>Get</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Know</strong> Gallery at www.get-<strong>to</strong>-know.org/gallery/2013-durham.<br />
This positive interaction with the natural world kept students enthusiastic and engaged throughout the day.<br />
Atikokan GS Biomass Conversion<br />
Project progressing<br />
Atikokan GS’s biomass conversion project is at the midway stage.<br />
Once operating, it will be the largest, 100 per cent capacity biomassfuelled<br />
plant in North America.<br />
Complementing the more than 200 construction workers on site,<br />
Atikokan GS employees are involved as contract moni<strong>to</strong>rs and<br />
administra<strong>to</strong>rs and work closely with contrac<strong>to</strong>rs on quality control.<br />
Safety is the <strong>to</strong>p priority for all involved.<br />
The fuel handling and s<strong>to</strong>rage system is well underway. Pictured<br />
<strong>to</strong> the right, each of the two biomass s<strong>to</strong>rage silos will hold 5,000<br />
<strong>to</strong>nnes of biomass wood pellets. The silos rose at a steady rate<br />
with concrete poured 24 hours per day by 60 workers per shift for a<br />
nine-day period. All <strong>to</strong>ld, 2,750 cubic metres of concrete (over 300<br />
truckloads) was cast in the silos project, supported by over 200,000<br />
kilograms of rebar.<br />
The structural steel for the truck receiving and transfer <strong>to</strong>wer is<br />
also complete. The <strong>to</strong>wer is about six s<strong>to</strong>ries high and on target for<br />
completion. Still <strong>to</strong> come are the furnace and combustion system<br />
modifications. Replacement of the controls system is about <strong>to</strong> begin.<br />
Fuel supply contracts are in place for 90,000 <strong>to</strong>nnes of biomass<br />
wood pellets annually for 10 years. Transportation contracts, from<br />
the source <strong>to</strong> the station, are also in place.<br />
Commissioning and in-service is planned for mid-2014.<br />
Concrete was poured for Atikokan GS’s two<br />
biomass s<strong>to</strong>rage silos, measuring 43 metres high<br />
and 21 metres wide.<br />

Ron Osborne:<br />
OPG’s first CEO<br />
Ron Osborne, whose business career in<br />
Canada spanned more than four decades,<br />
passed away unexpectedly at his home in<br />
Florida on April 9. He was 66.<br />
To many who knew him, Ron was one<br />
of Canada’s most respected corporate<br />
leaders – an energetic and accomplished senior executive who loved <strong>to</strong><br />
sing, spoke several languages and had a passion for his<strong>to</strong>ry.<br />
For OPG employees and pensioners, Ron was equally well-known as the<br />
company’s first President and CEO – a position he held from April 1999<br />
<strong>to</strong> December 2003.<br />
During his tenure, Ron presided over a number of events and miles<strong>to</strong>nes<br />
that significantly impacted OPG, including:<br />
• the decontrol of the Bruce nuclear station and its lease <strong>to</strong> Bruce<br />
<strong>Power</strong>;<br />
• <strong>launch</strong> of <strong>Ontario</strong>’s short-lived competitive electricity market;<br />
• the North American power blackout of 2003; and<br />
• the Pickering Unit 4 return-<strong>to</strong>-service project.<br />
After leaving OPG, Ron went on <strong>to</strong> a distinguished career as an admired<br />
and sought-after corporate direc<strong>to</strong>r.<br />
An affable, articulate and dynamic leader, Ron Osborne was – in the<br />
words of current OPG President and CEO Tom Mitchell – a person who<br />
“left his mark on our industry and on <strong>Ontario</strong>.”<br />
He will be missed by his many colleagues and friends, including those<br />
at OPG.<br />
Continued from page 1<br />
Q1 2013 FINANCIALS<br />
In March 2013, the Ministry of Energy issued a declaration mandating<br />
that OPG cease the use of coal at the Nanticoke and Lamb<strong>to</strong>n<br />
generating stations by Dec. 31, 2013. As a result, the Contingency<br />
Support Agreement with the <strong>Ontario</strong> Electricity Financial Corporation<br />
was amended <strong>to</strong> allow OPG <strong>to</strong> continue <strong>to</strong> recover actual costs.<br />
