Incorporated on July 1985, the Morgan Falls Power Corporation owns and operates an 850-kW run-of-river hydroelectric facility in New Germany, Nova Scotia.   A Seaforth subsidiary and significant contributor to renewable energy technology in Nova Scotia, Morgan Falls is an economically and environmentally sustainable renewable energy project that provides immediate greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions.

Innovative turbine and advanced environmental mitigation technology, and a 33-year power purchase contract with Nova Scotia Power Incorporated are part of the Morgan Falls Power Corporation product offering. Morgan Falls also has the possibility to be replicated for climate change technology, both domestically and internationally.

Located at Morgan Falls, Lunenburg County, the facility is powered by Canadian manufactured small hydro technology that results in increased GHG reduction. Adding to the facility’s uniqueness is the development, enhancement and showcase of innovative downstream fish by-pass technology that prevents the entrapment of fish in the hydro turbine.

This fish passage system allows for previously unavailable fish assessment capabilities for Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

Morgan Falls will produce approximately 3.5 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, resulting in an immediate reduction of an estimated 2,700 tonnes of carbon dioxide. 

Replication efforts are expected to increase GHG reduction to 23,000 tonnes of CO2 per annum within the first five years, further increasing to 95,000 tonnes per annum during the subsequent five years of replication.

Registered with the Voluntary Challenge and Registry (VCR) since 1997, Morgan Falls has also received EcoLogo certification and is actively participating in the Nova Scotia Strategy on Climate Change.
