A tour of the Robert-Bourassa underground generating station
Water from Robert‑Bourassa reservoir flows down to the generating units in the underground generating station, where it powers the generating unit to produce electricity before returning to the river. Technological improvements over the past 40 years have enabled modern turbines to generate more torque (power output), making it possible to increase the power plant's installed capacity.
All about winter peaks
During periods of intense cold, electricity use increases sharply due to home heating. At these times, Hydro‑Québec’s grid comes under intense pressure, with every generating station running at full capacity to keep Quebecers warm and comfortable.
