The Carillon generating station (in French: centrale de Carillon) is a hydroelectric power station on the Ottawa River near Carillon, Quebec, Canada. Built between 1959 and 1964, it is managed and operated by Hydro-Québec. It is a run-of-river generating station with an installed capacity of, a head of 17.99m (59.02feet), and a reservoir of 26km2.[1] The dam spans the river between Carillon and Pointe-Fortune, Quebec.
Upon completion, the dam raised the water level by over at Carillon and over at Grenville. This inundated the rapids of Long-Sault on the Ottawa River, transforming them into calm (deeper) water. The dam also includes a modern lock that facilitates traffic on the Ottawa River, superseding the Carillon Canal.[2] [3]
