Ontario Power Generation operates one of North America's most diverse generating fleets—nuclear, hydroelectric, solar, thermal, and gas—supplying nearly half of Ontario's electricity. The tech stack (Java, .NET, Azure, ServiceNow, Power BI) reflects a hybrid on-premises and cloud environment typical of critical infrastructure, while active adoption of Azure API Management, Azure Service Bus, and Kubernetes signals migration toward containerized, cloud-native operations. Heavy hiring in engineering and ops roles, skewed heavily toward interns, suggests aggressive ramp-up for major capital projects and the Pickering refurbishment effort.
OPG is Canada's largest public power generator, operating a fleet of 71 generating stations across nuclear, hydroelectric, thermal, solar, and gas technologies. The company employs over 9,500 people and generates approximately 50% of Ontario's electricity supply across the province's homes, schools, hospitals, and industrial customers. OPG has committed to net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 and is advancing several clean energy initiatives including Small Modular Reactors, low-carbon hydrogen production, and energy storage systems. The organization is structured around capital project delivery (Pickering refurbishment, new construction), asset optimization (hydro and reactor performance tuning), and regulatory compliance spanning nuclear safety, water quality, and hazmat protocols.
Core stack: Java, .NET, ASP.NET Core, SQL Server, Azure cloud. Operational tools: Azure DevOps, Jenkins, ServiceNow, Power BI. Currently adopting Kubernetes, Azure API Management, and Azure Service Bus.
