In Cap-Chat in Gaspésie
Discover the world's tallest vertical axis wind turbine!
Where nature meets history and technology!
An immersive experience in the world of wind power. Designed in the 1980s for scientific research and located at the heart of Quebec's first wind farm, Projet Éole is the best place to learn everything about wind turbines!
A uniquely designed experimental power plant!
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.
