High Falls Development Partnership
(Lac LaCroix First Nation)
The High Falls Generating station will be a run-of-river hydroelectric facility located approximately 250km West of Thunder Bay, Ontario. The GS is located on the Namakan River within the traditional territory of the Lac LaCroix First Nation and will provide 34,000 MWh of reliable green electricity (enough to power approximately 4,000 homes) to both the community and North-Western Ontario. This project was one of the few renewable energy developments in North-Western Ontario to receive a Feed-In-Tariff contract from the Ontario Power Authority (OPA).
The Lac La Croix First Nation is and continues to be involved in all aspects of project development; from the initial environmental and social studies, preliminary and final design, through to construction, and the eventual operation and ownership of the station. Construction is currently on-hold pending successful resolution of ongoing and outstanding development partnership issues.
Development at High Falls is a partnership between GPC and Neguaquon Lake Hydro Developments Ltd.
