The Électrium, Hydro-Québec's Electricity Interpretation Centre

Electricity and science made accessible!

Would you like to explore the electrical environment we live in? Interested in making fascinating and surprising discoveries? Want to relive the experiments of Edison, Ampère, Ohm and Volta as they made their amazing discoveries?

Visit the Électrium, Hydro-Québec's electricity interpretation centre located in Sainte-Julie, in the Montérégie region.

The Électrium offers an entertaining and dynamic way to learn about electricity: the many different ways it appears in nature, the origin of lightning and the secrets of the electric eel. You can also explore the laws of physics and become familiar with electric and magnetic fields, all with access to experienced guides.

The Électrium has some new attractions too: an interactive module invites you to help the Sansouci family use energy more wisely; another, unique in Québec, illustrates the essential role of electricity in the human body; and various videos take on energy-related subjects such as renewable energy, hydroelectric generating stations, current projects, and an overview of the history of electricity in Québec. Younger visitors will enjoy films created just for them: Follow the Line and Go ReNEWable.

A thoroughly electrifying experience!
