The project lies between Portland General Electric’s (PGE) Timothy Lake and PGE’s Oak Grove Hydroelectric Project. Water is diverted from the Oak Grove Fork of the Clackamas River just downstream from its junction with Stone Creek, which is about one mile downstream from Timothy Lake.
The Leaburg Walterville Hydroelectric Project is comprised of two facilities located at different points on the McKenzie River. Both plants are run-of-the-river facilities, meaning that the natural flow and elevation drop of the river are used to generate electricity.
The Carmen-Smith Hydroelectric Project, located 71 miles east of Eugene on the upper McKenzie River, is EWEB’s largest utility-owned power source.
