The station was shut down in April 2019, after the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat found substantial fish mortality caused by the turbine, and a crucial component failed within ...
An 1830 map showed the "Quoddy Hell-Gate" of "dangerous whirlpools" off the southern tip of Deer Island.

In 1984, Nova Scotia Power opened the Annapolis Royal Generating Station, which operated as a tidal power plant.

The station ceased operations in 2019.
