Manic-2 Generating Station

A definite must-see!

Just a few kilometres north of Baie-Comeau you'll find Manic-2 generating station and its dam.

Inside the facility, you can stand beneath the alternator of a generating unit and feel its immense power as the 400-t structure spins at 120 revolutions per minute.

Visit the dam to see a hollow joint the size of a Boeing 747.

Don't miss it!
