Background

The plant's eight units were brought online between 1962 and 1969 and, at 2,400 MW, the plant was believed to be the largest in the world in the early 1970s. Four units were idled and the plant became a peaking plant in the 1990s. The plant was retired in 2005.

Conservation area

The 64-acre Jim Tovey Lakeview Conservation Area was being developed at the site of the former Lakeview Generating Station. As of March 2025, the conservation area was scheduled to open in May 2026.
