About
400 meters underground, discover the second most powerful hydroelectricity production site in France. Traduction automatique par DeepL via DATAtourisme
The Montézic hydroelectric plant is a STEP (pumped storage power station). It is able to mobilize its 920 megawatts, the equivalent of a nuclear power plant, in a few minutes, to meet the needs of the French or European electrical system. The information area offers a permanent exhibition that is part of the guided tour (Sundays only, in summer). It provides the keys to understanding the construction of Montézic, its particular operation and its strategic role in the storage of electricity in the form of water.
