Follow our employees for an unprecedented visit of the EDF dam of Soulcem! Take advantage of this visit to discover this industrial heritage of the Vicdessos valley. This 66-metre high dam is part of EDF Hydro Auzat, a group of plants that produces 427 GWh on average per year, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of a city of about 200,000 inhabitants.
Discover this exceptional building that was put into water in 1984, to understand the operation of a hydroelectric development and its challenges. Enter the core of a backfill dam and familiarize yourself with the monitoring system of these structures.
A unique experience behind the scenes of hydropower production!

About the location

Barrage du Pla de Soulcem

The Pla de Soulcem dam or Soulcem pond (1570 m and 87 ha) was built from 1980 to 1983 by Electricité de France (EDF). The construction of this dam has drowned a vast plateau (Pla de Soulcem) dedicated to pastoralism, thus disrupting the farming activity of the valley.
