Hydro Power Stations

Cushaw Power Station is one of Dominion's clean, efficient hydro stations.

Dominion's hydroelectric power stations harness energy from moving water to generate electricity. While simple in concept, the process is highly efficient yet harmless to the environment.

Each of the company's hydro stations are unique in their design and operation. Electricity produced by the stations generally is used to supplement the power generated at the company's other stations during periods of high demand.

Advanced technologies, top-quality training and a dedicated workforce are the keys to the long-running success stories at these stations.
