The Nipawin Hydroelectric Station has a capacity of 255MW, and consists of:[2]
- one Hitachi 85 net MW unit (commissioned in 1985)
- two Hitachi 85 net MW units (commissioned in 1986)
It is possible to expand the station to five generating units, which would keep the baseload capacity at 255MW, but would increase the peak capacity to 420MW.[3]
