INFORMATION

Hydro Ottawa’s Generating Station No. 2 was built in 1891 by industrialist E.H. Bronson. In 2001, the station was completely rebuilt. All of the generators were rewound, the turbines were replaced, the channels and dam structures were rehabilitated and the station was completely automated. All heritage elements of the station were preserved, with the equipment looking as it did 100 years ago.
