Îles-de-la-Madeleine Generating Station

Not to be missed!

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-Madelaine have always relied on fuel oil to meet their energy needs.

The generating station's six 11,000-kW engines supply power to a population of nearly 13,000, in eight locations.

Take a tour and find out all about power on the islands!
