Appalaches-Maine Interconnection
New line route variant in Thetford Mines and Saint-Joseph-de-Coleraine under study
As part of the project authorization process, Hydro-Québec filed an environmental impact assessment with the Ministère de l’Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques in summer 2019. The study presents the line route selected by Hydro-Québec for the project.
The City of Thetford Mines has since proposed a new line route variant that would bypass the residential sector of Black Lake by heading southeast, then skirting Lac Caribou to the west to eventually connect with Hydro-Québec’s selected line route at Lac Noir.
Hydro-Québec consulted the population on this new line route variant to gather questions, concerns and opinions.
The consultation period is now over. The results are available at Registre des évaluations environnementales du Ministère de l’Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques. (in French only)
