Long Spruce Generating Station
Long Spruce Generating Station is a run-of-the-river hydroelectric dam on the Nelson River approximately  northeast of Winnipeg in the Canadian province of Manitoba. 

It was Manitoba Hydro's fourth generating station to be built on the Nelson River, which flows from Lake Winnipeg to Hudson Bay. The station was built on Long Spruce Rapids. The site is approximately  east of Gillam, Manitoba and is  downstream of Manitoba Hydro's Kettle Generating Station.

The dam is owned and operated by Manitoba Hydro. Its ten turbine-generator units give it a generating capacity of  and annual generation around 5.8 terawatt-hours.  Each unit produces around  with an operating head of  and flow of  cubic metres per second. The first concrete for the structures was placed in 1974, with first power delivered in 1977. The station was completed in 1979 at a cost of $CDN 508 million.
