Iroquois Falls Generating Station

The Iroquois Falls Generating Station is a twelve-unit run-of-river hydroelectric station located on the Abitibi River in Teefy Township. The original powerhouse was completed in 1914 with fourteen turbines, where ten turbines drove pulp grinders and four turbines were configured to drive electric generators. The station was reconfigured in 1946, where all fourteen turbines were reconfigured to drive electric generators for a capacity of 20 MW. In 2002-2004, the station was redeveloped to provide nine new Kaplan turbines and three of the remaining units were refurbished, resulting in a total capacity of 29.7 MW at a head of 13 meters.
