Portage Power takes its name from an age-old practice of carrying boats over land to bypass challenging waters. This powerful metaphor reflects our mission: to bridge the gap between today’s energy needs and tomorrow’s sustainable future.

We’re committed to empowering communities, protecting the environment and providing reliable power in a sustainable way.

As the operator of Canada’s oldest generating station still in service, we have a proud history of renewable generation and continue to grow our energy portfolio.

WE COLLABORATE

with businesses, municipalities and local communities to bring sustainable energy initiatives to life. Our work enhances people’s lives by making energy more efficient, enjoyable and sustainable.

Founded in 2000 as Energy Ottawa, Portage Power is Ontario’s largest municipally owned producer of renewable power. We’re continuously adapting and expanding our renewable energy capacity to meet growing energy demands with facilities across Canada and the United States. As part of the Hydro Ottawa Group, we aim to be the partner of choice for signature renewable energy and carbon-reduction projects, and we’re only getting started.
