Lamont Creek Dam

The Lamont Creek hydroelectric facility is a run-of-river power project located near the confluence of Lamont Creek and the Stave River in southwestern British Columbia. The point of diversion sits 3.

5 km upstream from the powerhouse, which itself stands 60 m above the creek's junction with the Stave River.

The facility was commissioned in 2009 and has a gross installed capacity of approximately 27–28 MW, generating an average of around 105,200 MWh of electricity annually for BC Hydro.

The project is one of six run-of-river facilities collectively known as the Harrison Operating Facilities, which also include Douglas Creek, Fire Creek, Stokke Creek, Tipella Creek, and Upper Stave River.

Together these facilities provide a total installed capacity of 150 MW. Originally developed by Cloudworks Energy Inc. , the facility is now operated under a partnership led by Innergex, which acquired its interest in 2011.
