Hydro-Canyon Saint-Joachim Hydro

Green electricity source

Built in the heart of the Saint‑Anne Canyon recreation park in Beaupré, Québec, the Hydro-Canyon Saint-Joachim Hydro project is a 23.2 MW project that's been designed to integrate as much as possible into its natural environment, specifically by installing natural rip rap on the downstream face of the dam, as well as building a plant built into the cliff to hide the infrastructure.

The project consists essentially of a concrete dam, a spillway, a water intake built into the rock, a tunnel approximately 450 metres long, a power station housing two Double‑Francis turbines, and a tailrace channel to restore water to the river.
