List of generating stations in Newfoundland and Labrador

This is a list of electrical generating stations in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

Newfoundland and Labrador has forty-eight power stations, and mainly rely on hydropower for its generation needs. The province's main power station, the 5,428-megawatt Churchill Falls Generating Station, mainly supplies 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. Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro, a subsidiary of government-owned Nalcor Energy, owns and operates most generation, the transmission grid and sells directly to large industrial customers. The company also serves remote communities not connected to the main power grids, in Newfoundland and in Labrador.
