Generating Stations
Nearly all of the electricity we produce each year is clean, renewable power generated at 14 hydroelectric generating stations.
How do we build a hydroelectric generating station? Take the tour now.
We also operate 2 thermal generating stations (Brandon & Selkirk) and 4 small remote diesel generating stations (Brochet, Lac Brochet, Shamattawa, & Tadoule Lake). In 2011, our total generating capability is 5,499 MW.
