To celebrate Canadian Dam Association’s 25th anniversary, the CDA Regional Directors constituted a jury to select their best regional dam, based on their historical value, benefits to economy and society in general, and on technical merits, by province or territory.
To view the description of each dam, please click on the picture and then select "Vote" on the main page. One vote per individual is allowed.
The grand prize / national winner will be announced at the 2022 CDA St John’s Conference and will win a $500 prize.
No member of the judging panel made a submission or is employed by an organization whose dam was included in the submissions.
The Mactaquac Generating Station (MQGS) is the largest renewable generating facility in the Maritimes. The 672 MW six turbine-generator unit hydro plant delivers clean, reliable, carbon-free energy to New Brunswickers. It began operating in 1968 with a planned 100-year lifespan but, due to Alkali Aggregate Reactivity (AAR), requires refurbishment to achieve its original design life. The facility is used for both peaking and load-following generation as well as providing ancillary services, such as automatic generation control and synchronous condensing.
