Come tour the largest diesel-fired generating station in Québec.
Located 225 km from the Gaspé Peninsula in the very heart of the Golfe du Saint-Laurent, the Îles-de-la-Madeleine have always relied on fuel oil to meet their energy needs.
The power plant's six 11,000-kW generating sets supply electrical power to a population of nearly 13,000, in eight communities.
Take a tour and learn all about electricity on the islands!
