HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT AND EAGLE DAM
Read moreStarted in 1935, the construction of the Eagle Dam was completed only in 1945. It was nicknamed the «Resistance Dam», because its construction site housed the Cantal Army Resistance Organization during World War II. The shadow amée voluntarily delayed its construction, so as not to offer additional energy power to the occupier. The Eagle Dam is also distinguished by its architecture. It is 290 m long and 90 m high. The construction of a fifth production group in 1982 makes it the most powerful EDF in the Dordogne basin with an installed power of 360 MW. A guide will make you discover the operation of hydroelectricity and allow you to enter the heart of the EDF's EDF plant. An industrial heritage that contributes to the duty of memory: it is essential!
