HydroRenewableVerified: Feb 2026

The Little Long Generating Station, with a capacity of 233.3 MW, holds the 150th rank among Canada's 1,334 power generation facilities, positioning it as a noteworthy contributor to the national energy portfolio. As one of 612 hydro plants across the country, it plays a vital role in the hydroelectric sector, accounting for approximately 0.12% of Canada's total capacity of 193,190 MW. Owned and operated by Ontario Power Generation in partnership with Moose Cree First Nation, this facility harnesses the power of flowing water to produce renewable electricity, reflecting Canada's commitment to sustainable energy practices. Located in a region with several nearby hydro plants, including Smoky Falls (267 MW), Kipling (232 MW), Harmon (220 MW), and the original Little Long (205 MW), the plant forms part of a robust energy cluster that enhances regional energy security and efficiency. The presence of these neighboring facilities allows for better resource sharing and grid stability, ensuring a consistent energy supply. Canada's energy landscape is predominantly hydroelectric, and as the country transitions towards greener energy solutions, the Little Long Generating Station exemplifies the advantages of renewable resources. Its operational longevity and integration into the local energy mix signify its potential for continued impact in both local and national contexts, contributing to the fight against climate change while supporting economic growth.
