About

Revelstoke Dam, located on the Columbia River near Revelstoke, British Columbia, is a significant hydroelectric facility in Canada. Completed in 1984, the dam stands at 175 meters (574 feet) high and stretches 122 meters (400 feet) across. It features a large reservoir, Lake Revelstoke, which extends upstream for approximately 130 kilometers (81 miles). The dam's powerhouse is equipped with four generating units, each capable of producing 500 megawatts of electricity, with a potential fifth unit that could increase its total capacity.
