Hydro Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro, commonly shortened to "Hydro", was originally a subsidiary of Nalcor, generating and delivering electricity for
Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as parts of
Quebec and the north-eastern
United States. It also delivers voice and data
telecommunications services to customers in some areas. Hydro itself is the parent company of the Hydro Group of Companies, which comprises: •
Churchill Falls Labrador Corporation Limited (CFLCo) • Lower Churchill Development Corporation Limited (LCDC) • Gull Island Power Company Limited (GIPCo) • Twin Falls Power Corporation Limited (TwinCo)
Churchill Falls Generating Station Churchill Falls Generating Station is one of the largest underground powerhouses in the world. The plant has 11 turbines with a rated capacity of 5,428 megawatts. Nalcor controlled a 65.8% share of the
Churchill Falls Labrador Corporation Limited, the owner of the Churchill Falls station while
Quebec's government-owned utility,
Hydro-Québec, owns the remaining shares.
