The Soulcem dam and its curious funnel...
Follow our employees on a unique tour of the EDF Soulcem dam!
Take advantage of this visit to discover the industrial heritage of the Vicdessos valley. The 66-meter-high dam is part of EDF Hydro Auzat, a group of plants that produces an average of 427 GWh per year, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of a town with a population of around 200,000.
Flooding is ensured by a 65 m-high cylindrical reinforced concrete structure known as the "Tulip". Its original, artistic architecture makes it a local curiosity!
Discover this exceptional structure, commissioned in 1984, and learn how hydroelectric power works and what's at stake. Enter the heart of the embankment dam and familiarize yourself with the structure's monitoring system.
A unique behind-the-scenes experience in hydroelectric power generation!
Tour times: 10am - 11am - 2pm - 3pm - 4pm
Length of visit: 1h
Reservations required, subject to availability: maximum 19 people per tour.
Closed shoes required. Parking available on site.
