Nova Scotia Power’s Generating Station in Point Tupper will soon look a bit different. A 91-
meter stack that’s been at the station for 50 years is being dismantled. The stack has been out of service since the station’s Unit Number One generator was decommissioned in 1987.
The stack will be removed layer by layer. The work will take about three months to complete. The first phase took place last year with the removal of the inner lining.
A second 101-metre stack remains in service for the Unit Number Two generator.
The Point Tupper Generating Station, which has been in operation since 1969 produces 154 megawatts of electricity.
