On Monday, November 16, 2015, Hydro Ottawa showed off the construction pit currently being transformed into a new, 29-megawatt hydroelectric generating facility at Chaudière Falls. Scheduled to open in 2017, the new, $150-million plant will feed into the provincial grid and power 20,000 homes annually without blocking views of the Ottawa River (because it is being built below ground). It is to feature three viewing platforms and a new bridge across the intake channel for pedestrians and cyclists. Video by Darren Brown/The Ottawa Citizen
