The central La Gabelle is a hydroelectric dam built on the Saint-Maurice River, in Quebec, in Canada. Property of Hydro-Québec, it was commissioned in 1924 with the first four generating units, in addition a fifth in 1931. The dam is concrete-gravity type and has a holding capacity of 900 000 cubic meters of water. Integrating a hydroelectric plant, the dam is located on the lower falls ( in height) harvested on the Saint-Maurice River. == Geography == This power plant is the first (most downstream) of the nine hydroelectric operating plant on the river. This hydropower plant is located on the border between Saint-Étienne-des-Grès (row 1, west side of the river) and Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel ("rang des grais", East side of the river). This power plant was erected at upstream of the mouth of Saint-Maurice River and downstream of the power plants Shawinigan- 2 and Shawinigan- 3. The Route Verte ("Green route" in English) (bike and pedestrian lane) no. 4 which pass through this dam of the Saint-Maurice River is used to connect the two communities. The “Rivière cachée” (hidden river) in Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel goes toward West, to throw on the East side of Saint-Maurice River, at 0.75 km upstream of dam. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Gabelle Generating Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
