List of generating stations in Newfoundland and Labrador#Other
{{Short description|none}}
{{GeoGroup}}
This is a list of electrical generating stations in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
Newfoundland and Labrador has 74 power stations, with a generating capacity of 8,652 MW; the province mainly relies on hydropower for its generation needs. The province's largest power station, the 5,428-megawatt Churchill Falls Generating Station, annually generates over 35 TWh of electricity; approximately 90 per cent of this energy flows to Quebec and neighboring markets in Canada, and the USA.
Newfoundland Power, a subsidiary of St. John's-based Fortis Inc., is the retailer of electricity for most customers in the province. Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro, a Crown corporation, owns and operates most generation, the transmission grid and sells directly to large industrial customers. The company also serves remote communities not connected to the main power grids, on Newfoundland and in Labrador.
Generating stations in Newfoundland and Labrador serving loads not connected to the main power grid are listed in italics.
