At Boralex, hydroelectricity operations are comprised of 8 power stations located in Québec, the United States and France


1. East Angus
2. Huntingville
3. Forces Motrices du Joudron
4. La Rochette
5. Fourth Branch
6. Middle Falls
7. New York State Dam
8. Sissonville

Together, they generate an installed capacity of 26 MW.

With the exception of the Joudron power station, they are operated by remote control thanks to Boralex's ultra-modern control centre, located in Kingsey Falls.

In addition to these eight power stations, it should be noted that Boralex acts as the manager of two sites owned by R.S.P. Hydro, located in Pont Rouge, Québec.

An expertise that stands out
In 1993, as Hydro-Québec put out a call for tender APR-91, almost all the waterways having hydroelectric potential were already taken up by dams, most of them obsolete or abandoned.

It is in this context that Boralex has shown its expertise in the
refurbishing of existing sites to make them operational and bring them in line with the environmental standards and the requirements of the communities.

Engineers and environment specialists pool their know-how to reconcile the economic interests of energy production with the quality of life of the local population as well as the management,
protection and development of the aquatic fauna of the waterways concerned.
