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 Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Magdalen Islands 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!
