E.B. Campbell Hydroelectric Station is a hydroelectric station on the Saskatchewan River owned by SaskPower, located near Carrot River, Saskatchewan, Canada. The dam created the artificial Tobin Lake.[1] The station is named after Bruce Campbell, a former president of SaskPower who was also the assistant chief engineer during the construction of the station.
