Ft. Halifax has a capacity of 1.5 megawatts, which represents 3/10ths of 1% ofMaine's total hydropower generation and 6/100ths of 1% of total electricity generated in Maine. To comply with the fish passage requirement, FPL could install a fish lift that transports many types of fish over dams. Such a system may cost between $3 million and $4 million - which FPL has decided is more than it is willing to spend given the amount of power produced by this dam.
