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 ...
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.
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]
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 planned for the possible expansion of Little Long, Harmon, and Kipling Generating Stations when they were constructed as each station was designed to accommodate additional turbines. However, the upstream water flow was determined by the capacity of Smoky Falls, which was the smallest of the stations.
Micro hydro in northwest Vietnam. Micro hydro is a type of hydroelectric power that typically produces from 5 kW to 100 kW of electricity using the natural flow of water. . Installations below 5 kW are called pico hydr
Revelstoke Dam built in 1984 was the last new dam built by BC Hydro. The province's Liberal government has promoted the construction of a slew of small-scale hydro projects by private businesses. As of April 2010, 63 long-term power purchase agreements have been signed with independent power producers for 2,629 MW of capacity and 10.3 TWh of ...
The power from the plant is primarily supplied to these operations, with excess power sold to Ontario Hydro. The generating plant works in conjunction with High Falls Dams No. 1 and 2, as well as the 'Big Eddy' generating plant, in a cascade system, where excess water power from upstream dams is utilized by the downstream ones.
