“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 />

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 />

Chairman Jake Epp announced two<br />
new additions in February to the<br />
OPG Board of Directors, bringing the<br />
Board’s total membership to thirteen.<br />
In making the announcement, Epp noted<br />
that the two new directors – Bill Coley and<br />
Gerry Phillips – represent “major additions<br />
to the Board’s expertise.”<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 />

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 />
success.<br />
