     History
    In its heyday during the 1960s, Lakeview produced 17 per cent of Ontario's power. The plant's first generator fired up in 1961, the year before Premier John Robarts officially opened the plant. During its existence, Lakeview provided some 215 billion kilowatt hours of power. The plant was later closed as part of a plan to phase out coal powered generating stations across Ontario.
