The Chute-Allard Generating Station is a hydroelectric dam erected on the Saint-Maurice River by Hydro-Québec near Wemotaci, in the administrative region of Mauricie, in Quebec, in Canada. This plant, with an installed capacity of 62 MW and Rapides-des-Coeurs located downstream were put into service in 2008. Their construction was completed in 2009.

Geography

The feed water upstream of the Central and the tailrace downstream channel have been built along the north shore of Saint-Maurice River. The Canadian National railway runs along the north shore of the water reservoir created by Chute-Allard hydroelectric dam.[1].

History

In April 2005, the provincial and federal authorities have authorized the completion of the hydro-electric project Chute-Allard and Central Rapides-des-Coeurs. The construction of facilities began the same year.

In 2008, the bays (channels) of the Chute Allard and Rapides des Coeurs were watered respectively from 6 to 9 May and August 4 to 22.

Commissioning of the latter group was held August 14, 2009 to the development of the Chute-Allard and 23 October 2009 in the Rapides-des-Coeurs. In 2009, a viewing area for visitors was arranged; it offers views of the reach upstream, central and air valves.
