The Ste-Brigitte Facility is a 4,200 kilowatt hydroelectric generating facility located on the Nicolet River, in the Municipality of Ste-Brigitte-des-Saults. Québec. The facility is located at the site of an historic mill, but none of the original structures have been utilized for the new powerhouse. The site layout involves an intake canal equipped with a gate structure, a powerhouse containing a single 4,200 kilowatt turbine-generator and a tailrace canal which conveys the water flow back to the natural watercourse. It has been designed as a run-of-the-river facility. A power purchase agreement has been executed with Hydro-Quebec for a term of 25 years.
