Canadian utilities continue to turn to hydro as an economical, reliable, renewable resource that can meet their customer's electricity needs. In 1992, construction and planning advanced on nine large hydro projects having the potential for adding nearly 12,000 MW to Canada's installed hydro capacity. New project activities span the country-from the Kemano Completion Project in British Columbia on the West Coast, to activity in Quebec's James Bay in the East, and in between Manitoba and Ontario. And while non-utility generators have taken center stage in the small hydro arena, Canada's provincially owned utilities are largely responsible for this large project development.
