Gananoque (0.7 MW) – Gananoque: Gananoque River
Gananoque Generating Station is a single-unit hydroelectric station located on the Gananoque River in Gananoque, Ontario. The station has been in service since 1939. The station has an installed capacity of 0.7 MW at a head of 18.3 metres.
The station is run-of-river without storage capability. The headwork consists of a concrete gravity dam with manually operated steel gates and stoplogs. The power canal feeds into the concrete intake equipped with steel trashracks and manually operated steel gates, which are used to control water. One steel penstock conveys water to the concrete powerhouse. Water is discharged into the Gananoque River.
The station is connected to Canadian Niagara Power’s 2.4 kV circuit 27-12 from the Gananoque main substation.
This hydroelectric generating station generates approximately 2,781 MWh of renewable energy per year.
