Ontario Power Generation’s Lower Mattagami River project, its largest in 40 years, added almost 500 MW of power by updating three generating stations and completely replacing a fourth. Hatch acted as owner’s engineer for the front-end study and design phases and as owner’s representative during implementation. This $2.6 billion project was delivered on budget and ahead of schedule. It employed 1,200 people, 70% of whom were drawn from local communities.
