Limestone Generating Station

Limestone Generating Station is a run-of-the-river[1] hydroelectric dam on the Nelson River approximately 750 kilometres (470 mi) north of Winnipeg near Gillam, Manitoba.

The station was built on the Nelson River at Long Spruce Rapids.

The site is approximately 23 kilometres (14 mi) downstream of Manitoba Hydro's Long Spruce Generating Station.

Although work at the site began in 1976 with a cofferdam completed in 1978, construction was suspended owing to a slowing of demand for electric power.
