Stave Falls Dam, Hydroelectric power station and national historic site in Mission, Canada
The Stave Falls installation contains three dams, a powerhouse, and a switchyard situated along the Stave River, generating power for the Lower Mainland region.
The British Columbia Electric Railway Company constructed the Stave Falls Dam between 1909 and 1912, marking a significant advancement in hydroelectric technology.
The powerhouse functions as a museum displaying the original horizontal double-Francis turbine generators and exhibits about regional electrical development.
The current facility houses two Kaplan turbines with an installed capacity of 90 megawatts, supplying electricity through an interconnected system with Alouette Lake.
The dam structure combines concrete-gravity and rock-fill construction, measuring 122 meters in length with a drop of 30 meters for power generation.
