Misema falls

Misema

The Misema hydroelectric facility is located on the Misema River, north of New Liskeard, Ontario, near the Ragged Chute facility. The facility began operation in the spring of 2003.

A 280-metre long tunnel carries the water to the turbine, which works at high efficiency regardless of flow. The facility uses a Litostroj turbine and a Leroy Somer 13.8 kilovolt generator.

Misema generates about 14,000 megawatt-hours per year of electricity.

TransAlta owns and operates the Misema facility through its wholly owned subsidiary, the Canadian Renewable Energy Corporation.
