Chittenden Falls
The site of Columbia County’s first paper mill in 1820, Chittenden Falls Hydroelectric Project is located on the Kinderhook Creek in Stuyvesant, NY. The plant was repowered in 1981 and under a partnership with Skidmore College, has been refurbished. Producing 20% of Skidmore’s load, it also houses a remote classroom and exhibit area.
Comtu Falls
Located on the historic Black River, the Comtu Falls Hydroelectric Project generates clean electricity in downtown Springfield, Vermont. The hydroelectric plant generates 2.5 million kilowatt hours of clean energy each year - enough to power 372 homes.
Dahowa
Harnessing flows from the Batten Kill River, the Dahowa Hydroelectric Project overlooks Dionondahowa Falls in New York's Capital Region. The current station was built in 1991, utilizing 110 feet of head and a vertical Kaplan turbine to produce enough to power more than 3,000 homes.
Five Mile Pond
Utilizing dam infrastructure built during the industrial revolution, Quinebaug and Five Mile Pond hydro projects were built in the late 1980's. The projects are located in northeastern CT, near the confluence of the Five Mile and Quinebaug Rivers. Collectively, the two projects generate enough clean power to electrify nearly 1,000 New England households a year.
Glendale
The Glendale hydro facility is comprised of five units totaling 1.14 MW of capacity. Located on the Housatonic River in Stockbridge, MA, the facility offers recreational access for canoeing and bank fishing. Its powerhouse is listed in the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its engineering and industrial uses dating back to 1900.
Newport
Located along the biologically-rich Clyde River of northern VT, the Newport hydro project has been powering the region since the 1930s. Today, the facility consists of a dam, penstock, upstream and downstream fish passage, and a powerhouse containing three hydroelectric generating units. A 150-kilowatt solar photovoltaic system is co-located at the station.
Pawtucket No. 2
Pawtucket No. 2 is housed in the historic Bridge Mill Power Plant, which has provided clean energy to Pawtucket from the Blackstone River since the late nineteenth century. The facility was repowered in 1981, received certification as a low-impact site in 2014, and generates enough electricity to power 672 homes annually.
Quinebaug
Utilizing dam infrastructure built during the industrial revolution, Quinebaug and Five Mile Pond hydro projects were built in the late 1980's. The projects are located in northeastern CT, near the confluence of the Five Mile and Quinebaug Rivers. Collectively, the two projects generate enough clean power to electrify nearly 1,000 New England households a year.
Saxapahaw
The Saxapahaw Hydroelectric Project is located on the Haw River and was the first independently owned clean energy generator in the state. Today, the project produces almost 5,600,000 kilowatt hours of clean electricity a year.
Seneca Falls
Located in historic Seneca Falls, NY, birthplace of the women's rights movement, the Seneca Falls hydro station takes advantage of excess water flow and elevation created by the construction of the Cayuga-Seneca Falls Canal in the early 1900s. Today, this 8 MW project generates enough electricity to power nearly 1,800 New York households.
Stillwater
Completed in 1993, Stillwater Hydroelectric Project is located on the Hudson River just north of Albany. The facility represents an excellent example of high flow, low head hydro generation in upstate New York.
Texon
The Texon hydroelectric facility has a 1.5 MW single unit located on mile 24 of the Westfield River in Russell, Hampden County, MA. It contains river access for canoeing and fishing. The facility has completed a rigorous certification process and been recognized by the Low Impact Hydropower Institute for its environmental benefits.
Waterloo
Located in downtown Waterloo, NY, home of the first Memorial Day celebration, this 2 MW project first generated clean power a hundred years ago. Neighboring Tompkins County entered into a long-term operating agreement for the project's generation, allowing it to meet 63% of its annual electric consumption with renewable energy.
West Charleston
The 0.675 MW West Charleston hydro facility is located on the Clyde River in northern Vermont. Originally constructed in the early 1900s, it operated for nearly a century before being abandoned. With the value of renewable power increasingly recognized a new powerhouse was constructed in 2010 and the facility was returned to operation.
Wyre Wynd
The Wyre Wynd Hydroelectric Project is located on the Quinebaug River in Jewett City, Connecticut. Originally designed to support a textile mill in the 1800s, the station now produces enough clean energy to power 2,000 homes.
