Global News
The Lambton Generating Station was demolished Saturday, said Ontario Power Generation (OPG), 'the stacks and the boilers landed exactly where they were supposed to land.'
The Lambton Generating Station was “safely imploded” on Saturday, Ontario Power Generation (OPG) said.
In an email to Global News Saturday morning, OPG said the facility was the last of the crown corporation’s former coal sites.
Video shared by the OPG shows the generating site imploding into a large plume of grey smoke.
Neal Kelly, a spokesperson for OPG, said the generating station opened in 1969.
“It was a four-unit station — 500 megawatts each unit — so it was a big station,” he said. “It safely produced power for southwestern Ontario for more than 40 years, and it closed as part of our coal closure in 2013.”
According to Kelly, the implosion on Saturday went according to plan.
“At 7:42 (a.m.), the implosion happened, and the stacks and the boilers landed exactly where they were supposed to land,” he said.
