Nipawin Hydroelectric Station

Nipawin Hydroelectric Station is a hydroelectric station owned by SaskPower in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. It is about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) upstream from the town of Nipawin at the Francois-Finlay Dam. The dam, which was completed in 1986, crosses the Saskatchewan River creating Codette

Lake, which supplies the water for the power station. The dam was named after James Finaly and Francois LeBlanc who had "constructed a trading post on the lower terrace of Bushfield Flats immediately upstream of the power station".
