    Many of the larger run-of-the-river projects have been designed to a scale and generating capacity rivaling some traditional hydroelectric dams. [8] For example, the Beauharnois Hydroelectric Generating Station in Quebec is rated at 1,853 MW. [9] Some run-of-the-river projects are downstream of other dams and reservoirs.

  6. Big Creek Hydroelectric Project - Wikipedia

    The combined 154,400-acre-foot (190,400 dam 3) capacity of Huntington and Florence Lakes was much smaller than the annual 1,700,000-acre-foot (2,100,000 dam 3) runoff of the upper San Joaquin River system. As a result, a dam was built on Stevenson Creek between 1925 and 1927, forming Shaver Lake, to store excess water from Huntington. The lake ...

    The station operates more continuously than most run-of-the-river hydro plants, with a capacity factor of approximately 55% and an estimated availability in excess of 99%. It is currently under an approved 42-year power purchase contract with Louisiana Power & Light (a subsidiary of Entergy). The city of Vidalia purchases 6% of the power with ...

    Beaver Dam near Eureka Springs, Arkansas was built between 1960 and 1966 for $46 million. [15] It confines Beaver Lake, the most upstream dam and reservoir on the river. A total of eight dams impound the upper White River, six in Arkansas and two in Missouri. The White River National Wildlife Refuge lies along the lower part of the river.
