The WAC Bennett Dam designates a hydroelectric development on the Peace River, in the northeast of the British Columbia, Canada. Its name pays homage to William Andrew Cecil Bennett, premier of British Columbia and father of BC Hydro, the public company that owned the structure. It was commissioned in 1968.
The complex includes the Williston Dam, a reservoir, the Williston Lake, and the Gordon M. Shrum Generating Station, whose ten groups can produce up to 2,730 megawatts of electricity. At the rate of an average production of 13.1 terawatt-hours per year. ‘a related event…), this hydroelectric development is the most powerful in British Columbia, producing alone more than 20% of all the electricity consumed in the province, in addition to being among the most powerful in Canada, with those of Robert-Bourassa, in Quebec, and Churchill Falls, in Labrador.
