The Sept-Chutes power plant, a hydroelectric power plant "run-of-the-water power plant" belonging to Hydro-Québec is on the Sainte-Anne river. It was built in 1916 and modernized in 1999. It has 4 turbines for a total output of 22 MW. The hydraulic potential amounts to 124.97 m. The power station can be visited. Hydro-Canyon hydroelectric plant. It was in 2016 that the hydroelectric power station of Société Hydro-Canyon Saint-Joachim started up a hydroelectric power station "over water 300 meters upstream from Canyon Sainte-Anne." The Hydro-Canyon Saint-Joachim run-of-river  power plant project was designed taking into account the technical and environmental aspects of the integration environment. The development will harmonize with the recreotourism facilities of Canyon Sainte-Anne. The works will optimize the site on the hydroelectric level while developing the potential of the Sainte-Anne waterfall. The maximum power of the plant will be 23.2 MW. The installation will include: Sport. The Sainte-Anne-du-Nord river has also been used since 1966 by a club and a river kayak school.
