The Bighorn Plant generates more electricity each year (408,000 mWh) than any of TransAlta's other hydro plants, enough to supply the equivalent of 58,300 Alberta households. Bighorn has a net capacity of 120 mW.

When TransAlta built the Bighorn Hydro Plant, it created Lake Abraham -- Alberta's largest man-made lake. The plant is one of two TransAlta hydro plants on the North Saskatchewan River System in Alberta.
