The Granite Canal Hydroelectric Generating Station is located within Hydro’s Bay D’Espoir Hydro Electric Development system. The generating station has a rated capacity of 40 MW with an annual average energy production of 224 GWh. The generating unit at Granite Canal utilizes approximately 37 m of head with a rated plant flow of 122.4 m3 per second. The unit is equipped with a Kaplan Turbine and was first synchronized on May 26, 2003. As part of Hydro’s commitment to the environment, a 45,000 m2 Fish Habitat Compensation Facility was included in this development to ensure any Aquatic habit loss was avoided, reduced or replaced. A Fish Habitat Compensation Agreement was signed with the Federal Department Of Fisheries And Oceans to ensure proper construction, utilization and long term viability of the facility. |
