On the edge of the Canadian Shield, in the heart of the boreal forest, lies the last of the La Grande Complex facilities: La Grande-1. Over 6,000 workers helped build this run-of-river generating station.
Composed of 640,000 m3 of concrete—enough to build a sidewalk from Montréal to Miami—this power plant will impress you with its drive shafts measuring over two metres in diameter.
At La Grande-1 generating station, you'll be amazed to see how well our infrastructures blend with the natural environment.
Imposing and majestic!
