Clean, Renewable Hydro Power

Manitoba Hydro produces virtually all of its electricity from the natural power of water at its 14 hydroelectric generating stations.

The abundance of Manitoba's water resources, combined with our hydro power generating stations allow us to:

• emit virtually no carbon dioxide or air pollutants that threaten the environment with climate change and global warming;
• export our surplus clean energy to help displace non-renewable sources of electricity in Canada and the United States; and
• displace the equivalent of more than 124,000 kilotonnes of carbon dioxide since 1991.

To date, only 50 per cent of Manitoba's hydroelectric production potential has been harnessed. Additional hydroelectric generating stations are in development.

Manitoba Hydro also purchases the output of the 99-megawatt wind farm in St. Leon, Manitoba to augment its existing hydroelectric system.
