Seton Lake or the Seton Lake Reservoir is part of BC Hydro's Bridge River Power Project. The entire complex consists of three dams and four hydroelectric power plants with a capacity of 492 MW or 6-8 percent of British Columbia's electricity supply.
The Seton Dam was completed in 1956 and is the final phase of this power generation project with the Seton Powerhouse above the mouth of the Seton River into the Fraser River.

Below Seton Lake, another dam was built on the Seton River, which was completed in 1956. This dam raised the water level of Seton Lake by another 2m. The Seton Dam has a crown length of 130 m and a height of 7.6 m. A 3700 m long power station canal, the Seton Canal, delivers a maximum of 143 m³ / s to the power plant on a daily basis. This has a single Francis turbine with a capacity of 42 MW.
