ELECTRIC PLANT
The project to establish in Monistrol-d'Allier an electrical plant was born in 1917. The waters of the two rivers, the Rendezvous and the Allier, were used. After a first dam on the Meeting in 1918, another reservoir dam was built, always at the Rendezvous, in Saint-Préjet-d'Allier. Finally, the fall of the Meeting was built in the. dam. It is the most important of the Allier, 16 metres high, it retains 2,2 million cubic metres of water. The Électrique-d'Allier electric plant is the largest in Haute-Loire. Not far from there, in Pratclaux - 1 000 metres - EDF maintains a research centre on the energy of lightning, which is formed during thunderstorms.
