List of generating stations in Manitoba

This is a list of public utility electrical generating stations in Manitoba, Canada.

Manitoba produces close to 97% of its electricity through hydropower. The most important hydroelectric development in Manitoba is the 3,955-megawatt Nelson River Hydroelectric Project. Its five power stations produced 27.4 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2014-2015, meeting 75.7% of the provincial demand.

Manitoba Hydro, the government-owned public utility is the main power generator in the province with 15 hydroelectric generating stations, 2 fossil-fuel plants and 4 diesel generators, for a total installed capacity of 5,701 MW.[1]
