“A Technology to Stand the Test of Time”<br />

Dignitaries Converge on Niagara for Tunnel’s Official Opening<br />

energy produced by this technological marvel is greater<br />

than that used per year by cities the size of Kingston or<br />

Niagara Falls.<br />

As Chairman Jake Epp put it, the Tunnel “has claimed<br />

the attention of the entire world” and is “a fitting<br />

representative of Canada’s, <strong>Ontario</strong>’s – and OPG’s – great<br />

legacy of electricity development and operation.” Epp<br />

also pointed out how the Tunnel was only one of many<br />

hydro development projects undertaken by OPG as<br />

part of its mandate to expand <strong>Ontario</strong>’s hydroelectric<br />

supply.<br />

Kevin Dyck and his Grade 2-3 students from Port Weller Public School perform their special Niagara Tunnel song<br />

in honour of the Tunnel’s grand opening.<br />

It was an event of historical importance, and everyone special song by 2nd and 3rd graders of the Port Weller<br />

knew it.<br />

Public School.<br />

On March 21, government leaders, media and OPG Citing how societies around the world are renewing their<br />

officials – including <strong>Ontario</strong> Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli, energy infrastructures with durable and cleaner alternatives,<br />

Environment Minister Jim Bradley, Chairman Jake Epp and Tom Mitchell declared that the Tunnel “puts <strong>Ontario</strong> and<br />

President Tom Mitchell – gathered at OPG’s historic Beck Canada squarely in the forefront of this movement.” The<br />

generating complex.<br />

Tunnel, he said, “will operate for the next one hundred<br />

They were there to mark the official opening of the Niagara<br />

years and more…while enabling more clean, renewable<br />

Tunnel, which had been recently placed in service – nine power to be produced for <strong>Ontario</strong>.”<br />

months ahead of its revised schedule and $100 million Serving the Beck generating complex, the Tunnel carries<br />

under its revised budget.<br />

millions of litres of water more than 10 kilometres at a<br />

The day’s events included tours, speeches and even a speed of 500 cubic metres a second. The average annual<br />

Minister Chiarelli was equally enthusiastic. Calling the<br />

Tunnel “a significant construction and engineering milestone,”<br />

he praised OPG and its partners for their<br />

accomplishment in completing “this massive undertaking.”<br />

He noted it was a source of pride not only as an<br />

engineering feat but as “a practical solution for meeting<br />

<strong>Ontario</strong>’s energy needs through clean sources.”<br />

Additional speakers included Niagara Falls Mayor Jim<br />

Diodati and local MPP Kim Craitor – both of whom paid<br />

tribute to the Tunnel’s great achievement.<br />

The entire day brought a fitting end to the construction<br />

and commissioning phase of the Tunnel’s history, while<br />

simultaneously ushering in a whole new phase for the<br />

Tunnel’s existence – the start of a long and productive<br />

life as a critical and durable part of <strong>Ontario</strong>’s energy<br />

infrastructure.<br />

Praising the Tunnel as “a technology that will stand the test<br />

of time,” Tom Mitchell called it “a proud day for <strong>Ontario</strong>.”<br />

Year-End 2012 Financials<br />

OPG reported 2012 net income of $367 million compared to<br />

$338 million in 2011.<br />

The increase was primarily the result of higher earnings from the Nuclear<br />

Funds and a reduction in OM&A expenses, mainly offset by a decrease in<br />

revenues as a result of lower electricity market prices and an increase in<br />

income tax expense.<br />

President and CEO Tom Mitchell attributed the business transformation<br />

initiative cost reductions as a major contributor to the company’s 2012<br />

financial performance. In addition to operating with fewer people and implementing<br />

process efficiencies, “OPG had a solid year in areas of safety, environmental<br />

stewardship, operations, and new projects.” Continued on page 4<br />

In making the announcement, Epp noted<br />

that the two new directors – Bill Coley and<br />

Gerry Phillips – represent “major additions<br />

Nuclear industry needs to keep pace with<br />

public expectations, Mitchell tells CNA<br />

OPG President and CEO addresses the Canadian Nuclear Association’s annual<br />

conference in Ottawa on March 1.<br />

In a speech to the Canadian Nuclear Association’s annual<br />

conference and trade show in Ottawa, Tom Mitchell<br />

argued that public expectations about technology constantly<br />

change and that the nuclear industry must keep pace.<br />

To illustrate, Mitchell cited the recent grounding of the<br />

entire Boeing Dreamliner fleet due to problems with<br />

the plane’s batteries, even though the plane had never<br />

been involved in a disaster. Mitchell said he doubted this<br />

action would have been taken 30 or 40 years ago. “But<br />

people’s expectations change. Standards become more<br />

demanding. And industry and technology have to adjust.”<br />

The same phenomenon is at work<br />

in other industries, said Mitchell,<br />

including the nuclear industry.<br />

“Remember ‘Atoms for Peace’<br />

and nuclear power being ‘too<br />

cheap to meter.’ In the early days<br />

of our industry,” he observed,<br />

“almost everyone was caught<br />

up in the promise of this new<br />

technology. But the honeymoon<br />

didn’t last. It rarely does with<br />

technology – any technology.”<br />

Events like Three Mile<br />

Island, Chernobyl and<br />

most recently Fukushima,<br />

Mitchell said, have made<br />

the public much more<br />

demanding of the nuclear industry. “What was<br />

once acceptable [has] become unpopular and even<br />

intolerable.” The way to address this situation,<br />

Mitchell argued, is to earn people’s trust. “This is<br />

where the nuclear industry does a good job. We<br />

are a mature industry with a mature technology.<br />

We have had experience adjusting to changing<br />

expectations.”<br />

Citing the impact of previous nuclear events,<br />

Mitchell said this made the industry more flexible<br />

and able to adjust to change quickly. This includes the many<br />

technology and procedure changes implemented after<br />

Fukushima, which made the industry look at the impact of<br />

external factors more closely.<br />

To maintain public trust going forward, Mitchell offered the<br />

following advice:<br />

• keep listening to our publics;<br />

• keep being aware of their concerns;<br />

• stay flexible and prepared;<br />

• be humble and continue to acknowledge our flaws.<br />

Above all, he said, “Be ready to act, adapt and change.”<br />

A copy of Mitchell’s remarks can be found on OPG.com and<br />

on the OPG intranet. A video is available on YouTube.<br />

New Subsidiary of OPG<br />

Formed in May 2012 by OPG employees who are<br />

experts in their field, Canadian Nuclear Partners<br />

(CNP) operates as an OPG subsidiary company.<br />

As a company, OPG is always looking at new<br />

initiatives to expand income and capitalize on<br />

emerging revenue opportunities. What is unique<br />

about CNP is its ability to transcend provincial<br />

boundaries to provide operating expertise at an<br />

international level. CNP’s mandate is to provide<br />

strategic direction, review, and guidance when<br />

called upon by others in the nuclear industry.<br />

CNP’s inaugural assignment was to provide technical<br />

support and oversight for the successful return<br />

to service of the Point Lepreau nuclear station in<br />

New Brunswick.<br />

Under the leadership of Deputy Chief Nuclear Officer, Pierre Tremblay, the<br />

introduction of CNP allows OPG to take a more strategic approach toward<br />

strengthening the broader nuclear industry.<br />

Bill Coley and Gerry Phillips join OPG Board<br />

”And they will help advance OPG’s business priorities, including securing our position as<br />

<strong>Ontario</strong>’s low-cost generator of choice,” said Epp.<br />

Bill Coley brings extensive energy and nuclear expertise to the Board. Prior to his<br />

appointment, he served as Chief Executive of British Energy from 2005 to 2009, when he<br />

retired following the successful combination of British Energy and EDF Energy. Prior to<br />

this, Coley was with Duke <strong>Power</strong> for 37 years where he held various officer-level positions,<br />

including serving as President from 1997 until his retirement in 2003. Most recently, Coley<br />

served on the WANO Post-Fukushima Commission, chaired by Tom Mitchell.<br />

Gerry Phillips brings to the Board strong expertise as a management executive with a<br />

successful business career. This is in addition to his valuable political experience. He was<br />

MPP for the east Toronto riding of Scarborough-Agincourt from 1987 to 2011 and served<br />

in six cabinet portfolios, including twice as Minister of Energy. Before entering public life,<br />

Phillips studied at the University of Western <strong>Ontario</strong>’s School of Business and worked in<br />

the marketing department of Procter and Gamble. In 1970, he joined the consulting firm<br />

of Canadian Marketing Associates and became President in 1977. He later founded two<br />

successful spin-off companies – the Sales Development Group in 1979 and the Retail Resource<br />

Group in 1982. By 1987, he was Chair of all three companies, with a combined<br />

workforce of approximately 300.<br />

Bill Coley and Gerry Phillips join another recently appointed director, Roberta Jamieson,<br />

who was named to the Board in June 2012.<br />

Data<br />

Diet<br />

Weigh-In<br />

Are you ready? How do you<br />

measure up? <strong>April</strong> 1 marks<br />

OPG’s first Data Diet weigh-in.<br />

All employee email accounts<br />

and G-drives must each be less<br />

than 5 gigabytes in total size.<br />

As of March 22, the latest results show 75 per cent of employees are<br />

compliant with their G-drive quota and 53 per cent are compliant with<br />

their email quota, based on the final target which will come into effect on<br />

July 1, 2013. This is an excellent start, but we still have a long way to go.<br />

The challenge to trim down is about more than<br />

reducing our EGQ (Email and G-drive Quotient);<br />

it is about becoming more effective in the way we<br />

manage electronic information and use storage<br />

space on OPG information management systems.<br />

OPG’s storage use has been growing at an unsustainable<br />

rate of more than 15 per cent<br />

per year because many of us hang on to files<br />

and emails we no longer need, “just in case.”<br />

The cost to support this practice conflicts with our goal to be<br />

<strong>Ontario</strong>’s low-cost electricity producer. Storing old files that could<br />

be records in email and G-drives instead of an Approved<br />

Information Management System also poses an information risk to<br />

the company.<br />

Once quotas are activated, employees over quota<br />

will be unable to send emails or save files to their<br />

G-drive.<br />

If you have not yet begun your data diet, the best<br />

time to start is now. Visit the Data Diet site on the<br />

intranet to find out how to start and who to contact<br />

Matabitchuan GS refurbishment completed<br />

Matabitchuan GS, a 10 MW facility located near North Cobalt in northeastern<br />

<strong>Ontario</strong>, is back in service after the on time, on budget completion of a<br />

$24 million dollar project. The project employed 141 workers from northeastern<br />

<strong>Ontario</strong> and an additional 18 from outside the region.<br />

“I’m thrilled that OPG completed this $24 million<br />

project safely, on time and on budget,” said<br />

Frank Chiarotto, OPG’s Senior Vice President of<br />

Hydro-Thermal Operations. “Investing in a 100<br />

year old asset ensures that <strong>Ontario</strong> will continue<br />

to receive the benefits of this source of clean,<br />

reliable hydroelectric power.”<br />

The project consisted of replacing two original<br />

steel penstocks with one partially buried penstock<br />

measuring 1.5 metres in diameter and 380<br />

metres in length. Extensive work was also done<br />

to the concrete structure where water enters<br />

the penstock, including the installation of a new<br />

headgate to control water flow into the station.<br />

OPG’s contractor, Barclay Construction, began<br />

work in March 2012 and completed construction<br />

in December.<br />

Barclay Construction positions a section of<br />

penstock at Matabitchuan GS. The 380 metre<br />

long penstock was replaced at the century-old<br />

station on time and on budget.<br />

OPG’s many hydro-thermal initiatives<br />

were recently the subject of a<br />

speech delivered by Hydro-Thermal<br />

Operations Senior Vice President<br />

Frank Chiarotto to the Durham<br />

Strategic Energy Alliance (DSEA) in Ajax.<br />

Members of the DSEA, a Durham Region non-profit<br />

organization working for the advancement of energy initiatives,<br />

were given an overview of OPG’s hydro-thermal<br />

generation development activities including the Niagara<br />

Tunnel and the Atikokan Biomass Conversion project.<br />

Chiarotto also touched on the redevelopment of OPG’s<br />

project management capacity and the importance of<br />

project benchmarking across the entire organization.<br />

“Our nuclear plants and projects are helping to make<br />

Durham an energy leader – a goal the DSEA is very much<br />

committed to,” said Chiarotto. “Likewise, our hydro-thermal<br />

operations and projects are helping to make energy an<br />

important economic driver in other parts of <strong>Ontario</strong> –<br />

especially in the north. What’s more, many of the learnings<br />

we acquire in hydro-thermal can be applied to our nuclear<br />

operations and vice versa. <strong>Ontario</strong>, as a whole, profits.”<br />

Total electricity generated in 2012 was 83.7 TWh, compared to 84.7 TWh in 2011. The<br />

1.0 TWh decrease was primarily due to lower hydroelectric generation resulting from<br />

below normal water levels in the lower Great Lakes, and Northeastern and Eastern <strong>Ontario</strong><br />

watersheds. This was partially offset by higher nuclear generation resulting from fewer outage<br />

Keith Brown is a Pickering Nuclear Shift Supervisor in Training.<br />

In addition to his “day job,” he is also President of the Institute<br />

NET<br />

INCOME<br />

of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) Canada. The<br />

IEEE is “the world’s largest professional association dedicated<br />

to advancing technological innovation and excellence for the<br />

benefit of humanity.”<br />

Brown’s ability to perform two very important roles is reflected in his resume,<br />

which is very impressive with a long list of accomplishments and degrees.<br />

He has been an IEEE member for over 14 years, volunteer for 10, Area Chair,<br />

VP, and now President. In this latest role, Brown chairs the IEEE Canada board<br />

of directors and two committees, sits on many major committees and organizational<br />

units, and attends events and meetings. Brown’s term in office consists<br />

of two years as President Elect (2010-11), two years as President (2012-13), and<br />

two years as past President (2014-15) of IEEE Canada.<br />

All this will likely require over 500 hours of Brown’s time, necessitating the use of vacation<br />

or banked time to meet these obligations. “Both personally and professionally, I find my<br />

volunteer role very rewarding and developmental,” says Brown.<br />

OPG prides itself on its people, and people like Keith Brown are the foundation of our<br />
