The Portneuf-2 (PN-2) facility is located at Philias Falls, 6.5 km upstream from the PN-1 Facility. The site was developed using a diversion weir, an intake and an 800-metre tunnel to the downstream powerhouse, which has two double-runner horizontal Francis turbines. 

The Portneuf facilities consist of three run-of-the-river hydroelectric power generating stations. They are located on the Portneuf River in Portneuf-sur-Mer within the Seigneurie des Mille-Vaches. The Portneuf River has an effective drainage area of 3,110 square kilometres and originates from Portneuf Lake. Portneuf-sur-Mer is located 300 km east of Québec City.
