Montézic Power Station

Montézic, France

The 978th largest power station in the world

910 MW · Capacity

The Montézic Power Station (Centrale de Montézic) is a pumped-storage power plant near the commune of Montézic in northern Aveyron, France. Its 910-megawatt capacity ranks it second among France's main pumped-storage facilities, and is the only one situated on the Massif Central. Montézic is a pure pumped-storage plant, which means that its upstream reservoir receives little to no natural inflow of water. The station has a weekly time cycle.
