Keeyask Generating Station Project
Keeyask is a 695 megawatt (MW) hydroelectric generating station on the lower Nelson River. It is located 725 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg and 30 kilometres west of Gillam, in the Split Lake Resource Management Area.
The station was developed by the Keeyask Hydropower Limited Partnership (KHLP), jointly owned by Manitoba Hydro and four Manitoba First Nations: Tataskweyak Cree Nation, War Lake First Nation, York Factory First Nation, and Fox Lake Cree Nation. Manitoba Hydro operates the station on behalf of the KHLP, and Keeyask has been fully online since March 2022.
For more information on the Keeyask project, visit the Keeyask Hydropower Limited Partnership website.
Keeyask Transmission Project
This Project consists of transmission lines, station development and station upgrades to support the operation of the Keeyask Generating Station.
- On July 10, 2014, an Environment Act Licence (Licence 3106) from Manitoba Environment, Climate and Parks (formerly Manitoba Conservation and Climate) was received.
- Review details of the project and the environmental assessment submitted to Manitoba Environment, Climate and Parks (formerly Manitoba Conservation and Climate).
- As part of the environmental assessment, an Environmental Protection Program (EPP) has been developed. The program will prescribe mitigation and protection measures to avoid and reduce potential environmental and social effects.
