Eastmain Reservoir
Location within Canada
The Eastmain Reservoir is a reservoir which lies about 800 kilometres north of Montreal. The reservoir is part of the Eastmain-1-A/Sarcelle/Rupert Project which is designed to increase hydroelectric power for the Canadian province[ which? ]. [1] Some of the structures along this reservoir include the Eastmain-1 power house and the Bernard-Landry power house.[ when? ] [1] Eastmain-1 has three water turbines that can collectively generate as much as 480 megawatts of power. [1] Meanwhile, HydroQuébec explains that Bernard-Landry is intended to supplement its slightly older neighbor. [1] Bernard-Landry can generate up to 768 megawatts. [1]
