Boralex and partners to develop three wind farms in Québec region

Under the agreement, Boralex, Énergir and Hydro-Québec will participate equally in the projects through affiliated companies. The energy generated would be purchased by Hydro-Québec under three PPAs and included in the volume of energy available to supply its various markets. The decision regarding whether each project is carried out will depend on HydroQuébec’s evolving needs.

The partners have committed to a collaborative approach in designing the projects with the host communities and the Indigenous communities located in the regions involved. Several meetings have already taken place with these communities and the communication will continue throughout the development of the project, Boralex said.

“At Boralex, we have been developing and operating renewable energy power facilities in Québec and abroad for more than 30 years. We are pleased to share our expertise and know-how to promote Québec’s resources for the benefit of our economy and the energy transition. This agreement represents both the recognition of wind power as an essential source in Québec’s energy mix and a vote of confidence for our team who, in collaboration with Énergir for more than 15 years, has made wind power development on the Seigneurie de Beaupré territory successful,” stated Patrick Decostre, President and CEO of Boralex.
