| The Facility is a 650 kilowatt hydroelectric generation
facility located on the Du Sud River near Saint-Raphaël-de-Bellechasse,
approximately 40 kilometers east of Québec City. The site
was originally developed in the late 1700`s as a sawmill, and later,
in the early 1900`s as a flourmill, it was not until September 15,
1993 that the structure was commissioned as a hydroelectric facility
by Énergie DLS Inc. The powerhouse building is estimated
to be approximately 230 years old.
The run-of-the-river facility consists of a concrete gravity dam
and spillway that spans the river, an intake, two penstocks, stone
masonry powerhouse and a tailrace canal.
Under the power purchase agreement, Hydro-Québec has agreed
to purchase all power made available. The agreement is for a 20
years, commencing September 15, 1993, which was the commissioning
date of the facility.
