This autumn, on the Poutès dam (river Allier)…
On September 29th, on the almost finished construction site of the new dam of Poutès (Allier),
the installed gates were lifted for the 1st time, just in time for the arrival of the salmons!
Ideal conditions for a free circulation of migratory fish and sediments…
The beginning of the hydroelectric production is planned for Spring 2022.
