Hydro-Québec has announced its plans to create a $9-billion wind farm in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region that could become one of the largest in North America.
The Pekuakamiulnuatsh First Nation, Atikamekw of Wemotaci and the municipality of Domaine-du-Roy, Que., announced a partnership with Hydro-Québec on Wednesday to develop the Chamouchouane zone.
The area of 5,000 sq. km could generate up to 3,000 megawatts as part of the utility’s strategy to increase wind power capacity in the coming years.
