As evidenced by the 500% increase in its winter runoff, the La Grande River is the pillar of the James Bay project's hydroelectric capacity, with the runoff increasing from an average yearly amount of 1,700 m 3 /s to 3,400 m 3 /s, and from 500 m 3 /s to 5,000 m 3 /s in the winter. This immense harnessing of the area's energy at La Grande was ...
