Milltown Decommissioning

 

On July 1, 2023 after 141 years of providing value to the surrounding communities, the Milltown Generating Station began decommissioning. On October 31, 2024 decommissioning activities concluded revealing the beauty of the St. Croix River. It now offers approximately five million square metres of spawning habitat available to various sea-run fish species, as well as recreational and cultural opportunities.

Decommissioning activities were successful thanks to community cooperation, the support of our general contractor Pennecon Heavy Civil Limited, and the many suppliers and skilled workers.

This was a complex project, and the first removal of a dam in international waters. Thank you for delivering the Milltown Decommissioning project in the most cost-effective, efficient and safest manner possible.
