The following page lists electrical generating stations in Quebec, Canada.
Quebec produces close to 96% of its electricity through hydropower. The James Bay Project is Quebec's largest generation complex, with an installed capacity of 16,527 megawatt of power, approximately 40% of the province's peak load. Hydro-Québec, the government-owned public utility is the main power generator in the province with 59 hydroelectric facilities located across the province, for a total installed capacity of 34,490 MW.
