Portage Power, a subsidiary of Hydro Ottawa, has submitted proposals for three new solar energy projects (Richmond Solar I, II, and III) in response to Ontario’s effort to expand renewable electricity generation.

The proposed solar installations would span four parcels of land in the Richmond area:
As Ontario prepares for major growth in electricity demand, these projects would help deliver clean, reliable power while generating local value. We encourage residents to learn more and take part in the public consultation process - there will be a Virtual Community Information Session on Friday, August 1st, 2025 at 12:00 pm.
