Saint-Narcisse Generating Station

A page out of history

Take advantage of your stay at Parc de la rivière Batiscan to visit Hydro-Québec's historic facilities.

One of the former generating station's buildings, built in 1897, has been designated a historic monument. In addition, the 29-km, 12-kV line that connected the generating station to Trois-Rivières was the first in the British Empire to transmit electricity over such a great distance.
