A year after research was halted in 1993, Projet Éole became Canada's first wind power interpretation center. Since 2019, under the leadership of a new, young and dynamic administration, the site has been completely restored to offer a seamless, diverse, and enjoyable visit that will appeal to everyone. The retro-industrial look of the power plant will take you back in time!

Project Éole is managed by the Éole Foundation, a charitable organization whose ambition is to enable all generations to discover, understand and take ownership of renewable energy as a lever for autonomy, innovation and resilience for the benefit of all.

Wind energy, a grandiose and educational site in Cap-Chat! TV reports, website: seeing it in person is larger than life. How it works, seeing the components up close: impressive. Patrick's explanations … More are instructive, not to be missed. The souvenir shop is very good. Enjoy your visit

Nice place to learn about wind turbines. Lots of information available on site and the guides are there to answer our additional questions. We can no longer climb completely up the wind turbine because … More it was no longer safe. Small trail available to go closer to 2 functional wind turbines.
