This hydroelectric generating plant, built in 1967 near the site
of Poutrincourt's 1607 mill, was the Centennial project
of the Nova Scotia Light & Power Company
(Nova Scotia's largest electric utility company at the time).
This generating plant is powered by water from
the same river that Poutrincourt's mill used.
