The **Seton Powerhouse** is a hydroelectric generating station on the [Fraser River](/source/Fraser_River) just below the confluence of the [Seton River](/source/Seton_River) at the town of [Lillooet, British Columbia](/source/Lillooet,_British_Columbia), [Canada](/source/Canada). The powerhouse is fed by the [Seton Canal](/source/Seton_Canal), a 5 km diversion of the flow of the Seton River which begins at [Seton Dam](/source/Seton_Dam), just below the foot of [Seton Lake](/source/Seton_Lake) to the west. The powerhouse is the last in sequence, and smallest, of the generating stations of [BC Hydro](/source/BC_Hydro)'s [Bridge River Power Project](/source/Bridge_River_Power_Project), which diverts the flow of the [Bridge River](/source/Bridge_River) into [Seton Lake](/source/Seton_Lake). The powerhouse uses only 50 feet of head between Seton Lake and the Fraser to produce a maximum generating capacity of 42 MW and an average capacity of 330 GWh per year.
