Shawinigan, Water & Power Company

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Established in 1898, the Shawinigan, Water & Power Company was one of the dominant hydroelectric private corporations in Canada until 1963 when it became a part of Hydro-Québec.

It was based in Shawinigan, Quebec.

The company established the Shawinigan 1 (c. 1901), Shawinigan 2 (1911) and Shawinigan 3 (1948) plants. Shawinigan 1 ceased production in the early 1950s.
