This is a list of operational hydroelectric power stations in Canada with a current nameplate capacity of at least 100 MW. The Sir Adam Beck I Hydroelectric Generating Station in Ontario was the first hydroelectric power station in Canada to have a capacity of at least 100 MW upon completion in 1922. Since then numerous other hydroelectric ...
BC Hydro's last dam was completed in 1984, since then run-of-the-river projects with private partners have been built. Power production without reservoirs varies dramatically through the year, so older dams with large reservoirs, retain water and average out capacity. As of 2012, there were approximately 40 small hydro sites generating 750 MW. [11]
These reactors amount to 11,400 MW of generation capacity and are located at three sites. The stations were constructed by the provincial Crown corporation, Ontario Hydro. In April 1999 Ontario Hydro was split into 5 component Crown corporations with Ontario Power Generation (OPG) taking over all electrical generating stations.
Milne Dam and Reservoir, Milne Park Conservation Area - Markham (Rouge River (Toronto)) McLeod Dam Green Energy Project ( Moira River (Belleville) ) Orangeville Reservoir, Orangeville, Ontario - 332 acres lake is at the headwaters of the Credit River and Nottawasaga River
Ontario Hydro's redevelopment plan was based on managing the water flow through all four stations, enabling them to act as peaking plants when required and optimizing the water resource. [5] Ontario Hydro initially prepared a development plan and submitted an environmental assessment to the Ontario Minister of the Environment in 1990.
Kakabeka Generating Station is a hydroelectric facility operated by Ontario Power Generation on the bank of the Kaministiquia River, 2 km (1.2 mi) downstream from Kakabeka Falls in the community of Kakabeka Falls, Ontario, 30 km (19 mi) west of Thunder Bay. The plant provides energy to the city of Thunder Bay and area.
Non-renewable power stations are those that run on coal, fuel oils, nuclear, natural gas, oil shale and peat, while renewable power stations run on fuel sources such as biomass, geothermal heat, hydro, solar energy, solar heat, tides, waves and wind.
Small power plant of Licq-Athérey (Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France). An 1895 hydroelectric plant near Telluride, Colorado.. Small hydro is the development of hydroelectric power on a scale suitable for local community and industry, or to contribute to distributed generation in a regional electricity grid. [1]
