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 ...

Errochty power station was larger than any of the other stations, with two turbines and an installed capacity of 75 MW. Water which passed through the power station was then used again at Clunie and Pitlochry. [35] [36] In order to maintain some flow on the Errochty Water, compensation water is fed through a pipeway and into the river channel ...
