Electrifying discoveries right around the corner
No matter where in Québec you'll be spending your summer, there is a facility nearby. In breathtaking landscapes, your entire family will discover an exceptional industrial and technical heritage at generating stations and dams that reflect the architecture of their time.

New this summer
There are new things to see at many of our sites this summer. A new interpretation centre was recently inaugurated at Beauharnois generating station and the completely redesigned interpretation centre at Manic-5 features a new exhibit entitled A captivating story, which retraces the construction of the facilities and provides a glimpse into the lives of those who built them. The new exhibition area, which is equipped with the latest interactive technologies, will enhance the visitor experience for everyone!
