| Overview
The Minashtuko Hydropower Station is a cutting edge run-of-river facility on the Mistassibi River, Québec province, Canada. The unusual dam structure consists of three very large inflatable bladders, which are computer operated to control flow in the Mistassibi River, and hence the turbine, with exceptional performance and flexibility.
