Napanee Generating Station is a 900-megawatt (MW) gas-fired power plant, under construction in the province of Ontario, Canada.[1] It has also been referred to as the Napanee Lennox power station.[2]
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the power station in the southern portion of the Town of Greater Napanee, in the County of Lennox and Addington, the province of Ontario, Canada.
Background
Sitting on the north shore of Lake Ontario, Napanee Generating Station is next to the 2,140 MW gas-fired Lennox Generating Station.[3] According to TC Energy,
- "By siting the station at this location, NGS is able to share several services with Lennox Generating Station including electrical and natural gas connections, water intake and discharge facilitates, and other infrastructure services."[1]
In October 2016, construction was on schedule.[4]
In August 2019, TC Energy (formerly TransCanada) announced they are selling their stake in Napanee to Ontario Power Generation, to close by the end of 2019 and subject to the plant becoming operational by then.[5]
