Abstract
Ontario Hydro is committed to achieving major reductions in atmospheric emissions of SO 2 and NO x in accordance with regulations established by the Ontario Government. Information is provided on electricity demand in Ontario, on Ontario Hydro's generation capacity mix and on the forecast use of generation to meet demand. Emphasis is placed on the comparative economics and emissions of Ontario Hydro's nuclear and coal-fired generation and on the integration of each into a cost-effective emission control program. Emissions of SO 2 and NO x will be reduced by about 25% by 1986 and by about 50% by 1990, primarily by using nuclear generation to replace coal, by purchasing hydroelectric generation from neighbouring utilities, by controlling coal sulphur levels and by selective application of emission control technology on coal-fired plants.
