La Tuque generating station

The La Tuque generating station is a hydroelectric power plant, located on the Saint-Maurice River, at the height of the city of La Tuque, in the province of Quebec, in Canada.

It is sixth of eleven hydroelectric dams on the river from the mouth.

With a catchment area of 32,016 square kilometres (12,361 sq mi), the dam forms a large water tank of 800 hectares (2,000 acres).

The mouth of the Bostonnais River flows into this great reservoir of Saint-Maurice River whose waters are retained by the dam.

The distance between these two dams offer a wide range of significant water for recreational boating.
