Hydro-Canyon hydroelectric plant
It was in 2016 that the hydroelectric power station of Société Hydro-Canyon Saint-Joachim started up a hydroelectric power station over water 300 meters upstream from Canyon Sainte-Anne.
The Hydro-Canyon Saint-Joachim run-of-river power plant project was designed taking into account the technical and environmental aspects of the integration environment.
The development will harmonize with the recreotourism facilities of Canyon Sainte-Anne.
The works will optimize the site on the hydroelectric level while developing the potential of the Sainte-Anne waterfall. The maximum power of the plant will be 23.2 MW.
The installation will include:
- A weir threshold to maintain the upstream level of the river
- A spillway
- A water intake
- An entrance gallery
- A power plant including production equipment
- A substation and a power line connecting the site to the Hydro-Québec network
Sport
The Sainte-Anne-du-Nord river has also been used since 1966 by a club and a river kayak school. First bearing the name of Club Echohamok, it has evolved to bear today the name of Côte-de-Beaupré. It must be said that the Sainte-Anne-du-Nord river has a portion of river located between the Sept-Chutes hydroelectric plant and the Hydro-Canyon hydroelectric plant which is classified 5 stars by the guide of rivers of Quebec.
