Integration of Wind Farms – 2^nd call for tenders

In May 2008, following a second tender call for the purchase of wind power, Hydro-Québec announced the acceptance of fifteen bids totalling 2,004 MW.

To ensure safe, reliable transmission of electricity produced by the 15 new wind farms, Hydro-Québec Équipement will do a great deal of work on the Gaspé grid (special protection systems, telecommunications, lines and substations).

To integrate the planned facilities harmoniously with their surroundings, Hydro-Québec will conduct technical, economic and environmental studies within the study areas. The company will also hold information and consultation sessions with stakeholders and citizens.
