This dam is the second dam on the Manicouagan River, going north from Baie-Comeau.
Construction began in 1961 and the dam and it's powerhouse were put into service in 1965.
This complex generates 1145MW of the more than 7300MW that the giant Manicouagan-Outards project generates.
HydroQuébec provides guided visits during the summer months at no charge. And is well worth taking the time.
