Magpie Generating Station

Rivière-Saint-Jean, Canada

The Magpie Generating Station (Centrale Magpie) is a 40.6 MW hydroelectric power generating station on the Magpie River in the Côte-Nord region of the province of Quebec, Canada. There was controversy during the planning phase since the dam flooded a stretch of rapids popular with advanced kayakers and rafters. However, the project was approved in 2005 and commissioned in 2007.
