Oshawa Power has announced plans to build a new facility in North Oshawa. Mayor Dan Carter, Chair of the Economic & Development Services Committee Tito-Dante Marimpietri, and Associate Minister of Energy-Intensive Industries Sam Oosterhoff attended the announcement.
The new facility, located at 2072 Thornton Road North, will consist of a two-storey office building, an equipment storage yard, a warehouse, and a vehicle garage. Currently, Oshawa Power has split their workforce among several different buildings and facilities. Consolidating all operational, administrative, and storage yards into a single complex will simplify Oshawa Power’s workflow and make crews faster and more efficient.
Daniel Arbour, Oshawa Power’s President & CEO, said, “We are thrilled to begin the process of moving to a new facility that will better accommodate our fleet, consolidate operations, and allow us to continue providing Oshawa with safe and reliable electricity for decades to come.”
Construction of the building, designed by a local Oshawa architectural firm, is planned to begin by 2026, with the goal of transferring all work from the current facility in 2027.
