Overview
OPTrust manages one of Canada's largest defined-benefit pension funds, administering the OPSEU Pension Plan (including OPTrust Select) with over 114,000 members and net assets exceeding $26 billion. It operates through joint trusteeship, with governance split evenly between OPSEU/SEFPO and the Government of Ontario, ensuring both plan members and the government have a voice in administration and asset investment. The core product is a pension plan that promises defined benefits to members, funded by the plan’s invested assets. OPTrust’s approach centers on prudent asset management and governance designed to sustain member benefits over time while balancing the interests of both labor and government stakeholders. Its goal is to provide secure, well-managed retirement benefits for plan members while maintaining the long-term financial health of the plan.

Flow Power has secured financing from Westpac and SMBC to build the Bennetts Creek Battery Energy Storage System in Victoria, Australia. The project, backed by majority shareholder OPTrust, will deliver 100 MW of power with 223 MWh of storage capacity. Located in Victoria's Latrobe Valley near the decommissioned Hazelwood coal-fired power station, the facility will repurpose existing grid infrastructure. It marks Flow Power's first large-scale standalone battery system and its 11th project overall. The battery will use Wärtsilä's Quantum energy storage system with GEMS software for optimisation. Financing will also fund a new 66 kV transmission line to the Morwell terminal substation. Zenviron will manage construction, with technical support from Everoze, Aurecon and Aurora. The project is expected to begin commercial operations in 2028.
