The Réservoir La Grande 3 is a reservoir in the Canadian province of Québec . Located in the Jamésie region, it is part of the Baie James hydropower project .
The two main dams of Barrage La Grande-3 are 93 m high and together 4.3 km long. Together with 67 additional dikes [possibly are meant here dams, dykes do not impound a river] they impound the river La Grande Rivière into one of the largest reservoirs on earth. The water surface is 2420 km², the storage capacity is more than 60 billion m³ (= 60 km³). La Grande 3 is located on the watercourse of La Grande Rivière , between the Réservoir Robert-Bourassa and the Réservoir La Grande 4 .
In the associated storage power plant La Grande-3 (also known as LG-3) are twelve turbine generator units at a drop height of 79 meters, 2,417 MW generated.
