Mike Martelli, President of OPG Renewable Generation, said: “As Ontario’s largest electricity generator, we have been stewards of hydropower assets for more than a century, and we are proud to continue that legacy with this acquisition. We look forward to a path of continued growth and success with Eagle Creek.”

The acquisition will be funded through OPG’s corporate public debt programme and other available credit facilities. Upon completion of the deal, Eagle Creek will continue to operate independently as a wholly owned subsidiary of OPG. It will have its own board of directors and management team.
