Cartier Wind Energy Awarded Six Projects
Cartier Wind Energy's projects will benefit the Gaspe region. Many turbine components will be manufactured and assembled in Gaspesie, Iles-de-la-Madeleine and the Regional County Municipality of Matane, as required by the 1,000 MW Call for Tenders issued by Hydro-Quebec Distribution. As a result, the region will become a North American leader in wind turbine manufacturing and wind energy generation. The six projects are distributed in various communities of the administrative region of Gaspesie, Iles-de-la-Madeleine and the Regional County Municipality of Matane. The projects will be commissioned between 2006 and 2012 and are located in the municipalities of Mont Louis (211.5 MW), Gaspe (100.5 MW), Carleton (109.5 MW), Baie des Sables (109.5 MW), Les Mechins (150 MW) and Cloridorme (58.5 MW). Power purchase agreements are being negotiated with Hydro-Quebec Distribution for each of the six facilities and are expected to be executed in December 2004. Each agreement will be subject to approval from Le Regie de L'Energie. The six projects are expected to cost a total of approximately CAN$1.2bn.
