Atikokan Generating Station is a formerly coal fired station owned by Ontario Power Generation (OPG), located north of Atikokan, west of Thunder Bay, in Northwestern Ontario. The plant employs 90 people. The Atikokan Generating Station began operation in 1985 and underwent an overhaul in the autumn of 2003. Until 2012, it had one coal fueled generating unit with low nitrogen oxide (NOx) burners, providing a peak output of 230 MW fuelled by low sulfur lignite coal from Western Canada. In late 2012, the facility powered down and underwent renovations, due to the Ontario government's initiative to eliminate all coal-fired electricity generation.〔Montgomery, James. (Sneak Peek: Inside The Atikokan Biomass Plant Conversion ). ''Renewable Energy World''. 2013-09-12.〕 It is the first generating station to be converted by OPG to be fueled by biomass,〔"(Ontario coal-fired power plant to switch to biomass )", CBC News, January 21, 2009. Retrieved January 21, 2009.〕 and is North America's largest purely biomass-fueled power plant.〔 The conversion came at a cost of C$200 million, and the plant was re-opened on 10 September 2014.〔(Ensuring a future of renewable energy for the people of Northwestern Ontario )〕〔http://www.ediweekly.com/largest-biomass-power-plant-na-set-open-atikokan/〕〔"($200M conversion coming for Atitkokan coal plant )", CBC News, July 19, 2012. Retrieved July 19, 2012.〕 Annual production at the plant is approximately 900 million kilowatt-hours (kWh), enough energy to supply approximately 70,000 households for one year. The station occupies an area of . The plant's chimney is tall, and the steam temperature is . This plant is connected to the provincial power grid via several 230,000-volt transmission lines. == Emissions ==
