A 1,550-MW hydroelectric complex is being built on the rivière Romaine. Draft-design studies and applications for authorization were carried out for the generating stations and now Hydro-Québec TransÉnergie is conducting a study on the structures required to integrate the output of the generating stations into the power system.
The project includes:
- building some 500 km of transmission lines, designed for 315 kV and 735 kV but operated at 315 kV;
- building new switchyards at the generating stations;
- modifying and adding equipment in existing facilities.
Hydro-Québec began its work in summer 2011.
