Wind across Quebec

Boralex Inc and Témiscouata regional county municipality have announced the commercial commissioning of the first 23.5MW from the Témiscouata wind farms. “The Témiscouata I community wind power project is promising from both an environmental and economic perspective. To date, the two wind farms under construction have generated more than $6 million in direct economic spin-offs in Témiscouata as well as a host of indirect benefits,” noted Témiscouata municipality warden Guylaine Sirois. “The wind farms will bring in steady revenues for the next 20 years that will help support our municipalities and economic development in our region,” she continued. The Témiscouata II wind farm, with a capacity of 51.7MW, is under construction, with the roads and the foundations completed on target to the initial schedule. Commissioning is expected in late 2015.
