Kipling Generating Station is one of four stations in the Lower Mattagami River Hydroelectric Complex. The station is jointly owned by Ontario Power Generation (OPG; 75%) and the Moose Cree First Nation (25%).{{cite news|last1=O'Kane|first1=Josh|title=Massive project gives new life to old hydro dams|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/breakthrough/massive-project-gives-new-life-to-old-hydro-dams/article15613280/?page=all|accessdate=3 February 2015|publisher=The Globe and Mail|date=26 November 2013}} The station is approximately {{Convert|95|km|mi|abbr=on}} northeast of Kapuskasing in the Cochrane District of Northern Ontario and is the last of four stations in OPG's Lower Mattagami River complex. Kipling GS was originally commissioned as a 2-unit, 155 MW generating station in 1966 by OPG's predecessor, Ontario Hydro. OPG completed a $2.6 billion construction project covering the four Lower Mattagami dams in 2014 and 2015, and added a third generating unit with 78.3 MW capacity to Kipling GS, bringing the total station capacity to 233.3 MW.{{cite web|title=Kipling Generating Station|url=http://www.powerauthority.on.ca/hydroelectric/kipling-generating-station-2330-mw-kapuskasing-mattagami-river|publisher=Ontario Power Authority|accessdate=14 February 2015|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140718125559/http://powerauthority.on.ca/hydroelectric/kipling-generating-station-2330-mw-kapuskasing-mattagami-river|archivedate=18 July 2014}}
