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.
