Churchill Falls is a hydroelectric power station located in Labrador, Canada. It harnesses the energy of the Churchill River and is one of the largest power plants in the world. The facility began operations in 1971 and has a generating capacity of 5,428 megawatts, providing electricity primarily to the province of Quebec. The falls themselves are a stunning natural feature, with a drop of 75 meters (246 feet). They are part of the Churchill River system, which flows into Hudson Bay. The area surrounding the falls is remote and largely uninhabited, making it a unique site for both energy production and natural beauty.
