This is a list of electrical generating stations in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
Newfoundland and Labrador has 74 power stations, with a generating capacity of 8,652 MW; the province mainly relies on hydropower for its generation needs. The province's largest power station, the 5,428-megawatt Churchill Falls Generating Station, annually generates over 35 TWh of electricity that is mainly sold to Quebec, under a 65-year contract, due to expire in 2041.
Newfoundland Power, a subsidiary of St. John's-based Fortis Inc., is the retailer of electricity for most areas in the province.
