The station is the world's 4th largest[1] tidal power plant in operation since the Annapolis Royal Generating Station ceased operation.
Station began operating in 1968, but was later shut down for 10 years until December 2004, when funding resumed.
The old 0.4 megawatts (540 hp) French-built generation unit was dismantled.
The site was originally chosen because the long and deep fjord had a fairly narrow outlet to the sea which could easily be dammed for the project.
