A naval base is going to be build in St-Rigaud Bay, to develop Ardencian Navy's capacities.
Power plants
From more than three decades, local government of Lévionnay province decided to develop a energetic policy in order to become an important productor of energy in the Ardencian federation. In this context, several nuclear power plants have been built, including that of Milneuf (department of Plantemorgue) which hosts six nuclear fission reactors but also the first nuclear fusion reactor connected to the electricity network resulting from a collaboration between many provinces and States, Super Milneuf Fusion. Although nuclear power already produces more electricity than the province requires, thus making it possible to export to other provinces, Lévionnay has also built large hydroelectric dams, particularly in the Massif de Plantemorgue, as well as a few additional gas plants. Electricity production is therefore diversified, controllable and carbon-free, the result of a long-term project led by the provincial government.
