Generation supplies wholesale energy products in a competitive environment.

With 12 hydro, coal, oil, natural gas and diesel-powered generating stations as well as the Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station and the Shediac solar farm, we maintain and operate one of the most diverse generation fleets in North America and the only nuclear generating station in Atlantic Canada. NB Power has a total generating capacity of 3,799 MW, with an additional installed generating capacity of 594 MW, including 499 MW of renewables, provided by third parties through power purchase agreements.

Because we have limited natural resources to generate electricity in the province, we've developed one of the most diverse generating systems in North America.

The 467 MW baseload unit at Belledune was recently recognized by an industry benchmarking group as one of the most economic coal-fired generators in North America.

Using to our advantage our geographic location and regional weather diversity, the generating system was designed to meet winter peaks and benefit from non-winter sales to neighbouring jurisdictions.
