Brookfield Renewable, owner and operator of the Wallenpaupack Hydroelectric Plant, announces
today the potential to miss upcoming scheduled boating releases on the Lackawaxen River due to maintenance activities being performed at the hydroelectric plant.
On or after July 1, Brookfield Renewable is required to offer eight boating releases with flows of 1,200 cubic feet per second (cfs) with the operation of the plant’s two power generating units. Due to maintenance activities being performed at the plant, the scheduled boating releases may not take place if the natural river flows on the Lackawaxen River are not deemed adequate. Brookfield plans to reschedule boating releases if the natural river flows are enough to support meeting the 1,200 cfs.
