Éole Cap Chat
There are many wind turbines in the Gaspe region of Quebec. At Cap Chat there is an interperative centre and it is also the location of the tallest vertical axis windmill in the world. It stands 96 metres tall and went into service in 1987 but because of bearing problems was shut down in 1993. It is now a tourist attraction with people being allowed to climb to the top via the inside of the centre column and take in the view of the area. There are many more conventional wind turbines on the hillsides surrounding this one. Cap Chat, Quebec
