Utilizing dam infrastructure built during the industrial revolution, Quinebaug and Five Mile Pond hydro projects were built in the late 1980’s. The projects are located in northeastern CT, near the confluence of the Five Mile and Quinebaug Rivers. Collectively, the two projects generate enough clean power to electrify nearly 1,000 New England households a year.

The Wyre Wynd Hydroelectric Project is located on the Quinebaug River in Jewett City, Connecticut. Originally designed to support a textile mill in the 1800s, the station now produces enough clean energy to power 2,000 homes.

The 0.675 MW West Charleston hydro facility is located on the Clyde River in northern Vermont. Originally constructed in the early 1900s, it operated for nearly a century before being abandoned. With the value of renewable power increasingly recognized a new powerhouse was constructed in 2010 and the facility was returned to operation.

Located in downtown Waterloo, NY, home of the first Memorial Day celebration, this 2 MW project first generated clean power a hundred years ago. Neighboring Tompkins County entered into a long-term operating agreement for the project’s generation, allowing it to meet 63% of its annual electric consumption with renewable energy.

The Texon hydroelectric facility has a 1.5 MW single unit located on mile 24 of the Westfield River in Russell, Hampden County, MA. It contains river access for canoeing and fishing. The facility has completed a rigorous certification process and been recognized by the Low Impact Hydropower Institute for its environmental benefits.

Completed in 1993, Stillwater Hydroelectric Project is located on the Hudson River just north of Albany. The facility represents an excellent example of high flow, low head hydro generation in upstate New York.    

Located in historic Seneca Falls, NY, birthplace of the women’s rights movement, the Seneca Falls hydro station takes advantage of excess water flow and elevation created by the construction of the Cayuga-Seneca Falls Canal in the early 1900s. Today, this 8 MW project generates enough electricity to power nearly 1,800 New York households.

The Saxapahaw Hydroelectric Project is located on the Haw River and was the first independently owned clean energy generator in the state. Today, the project produces almost 5,600,000 kilowatt hours of clean electricity a year.

Pawtucket No. 2 is housed in the historic Bridge Mill Power Plant, which has provided clean energy to Pawtucket from the Blackstone River since the late nineteenth century. The facility was repowered in 1981, received certification as a low-impact site in 2014, and generates enough electricity to power 672 homes annually.
