E.B. Campbell Hydroelectric Station Refurbishment

Our E.B. Campbell Hydroelectric Station was powered up in 1963. Nearing the end of its operating life, we began upgrading the facility in 2021.

Refurbishing E.B. Campbell will cost less than building a new power station. It’ll also ensure reliable and affordable baseload power for another 50 years.  

Our Progress So Far

Refurbishment of Unit 5 began in August 2024 and is expected to return to service in July 2025.

Unit 3 was refurbished, commissioned, and returned to service in May 2021.

Unit 4 was refurbished, commissioned, and returned to service in June 2021.

Unit 6 was refurbished, commissioned, and returned to service in July 2022

Unit 2 was refurbished, commissioned, and returned to service in July 2023

Unit 1 was refurbished, commissioned, and returned to service in July 2024

Minimizing The Impact To You

Construction was scheduled during low flow periods of each year. This allows us to maintain power generation availability when water levels are high.

Respecting The Local Environment

Our goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% from our 2005 levels by 2030. These upgrades are one way for us to reach that goal.

It’ll also allow us to be more efficient by creating more power using the same amount of water.

Benefits To Local Communities

We’ve invested over $13.7 million towards Indigenous and local employment opportunities for this project through focused procurements, local hiring, and community engagement.
