The Long Sault Rapids facility is a 16,000 kilowatt hydroelectric generating facility located on the Abitibi river, 19 kilometers north of the Town of Cochrane. The powerhouse is an integrated structure, housing four pit turbine generating units each rated at 4,500 kilowatts of generating capacity. The electricity produced by the facility will be sold directly to Ontario Hydro for distribution to Ontario Hydro customers by means of a 23.5 kilometers 115 kV transmission line, which crosses both private property and provincially owned land pursuant to easements, right of way and land use permits.
