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.

Interesting place, full of historical and technical information provided throughout the site. Our guide Benjamin explained to us very well and took the time to answer our questions while remaining open to questions. … More broader discussions.

A great discovery in Gaspésie! The Éole project is truly impressive to see up close! A unique structure, full of history and grandeur. It's worth visiting at least once in your life. It's perhaps missing a little bit. … More interaction or entertainment for visitors, but overall it remains very interesting. A nice surprise in the heart of the Gaspé!
