"Mississippi River Power Corp. is committed to generating clean, reliable power, while continually improving efficiency, providing a reasonable return to the shareholder and remaining a good corporate citizen."

 

Mississippi River Power Corp. is the generation side of the former Almonte Hydro. The Corporation of the Town of Mississippi Mills owns 100% of the shares in MRPC.

Mississippi River Power Corp. owns and operates a 2.4 Megawatt Generating Station in Almonte, Ontario. This station was originally built in 1925 and was rehabilitated in 1990. The company is recently completed the design of a new station on the Lower Falls of the Mississippi River in Almonte. Site mobilization is presently underway and construction should commence shortly, with a completion date of mid 2009. More info here.

All of the power generated by MRPC's run-of-river generating plant is clean or green power. This means that the generation process produces no pollutants.

As the sign in the photo to the right indicates, the area around MRPC's Generating Station and dam are very dangerous. Water levels in the areas below and above the dam can change drastically within seconds, without warning. For your own safety, please stay clear of these areas. Also during construction, there are additional dangers around the generating station and construction site. Please obey signage and fencing.
