Anjou Substation and 315-kV Transmission Line

Throughout the duration of work, Hydro-Québec will use various communication tools to keep the stakeholder groups adequately informed concerning the zones affected by work, the impacts and the mitigation measures that will be put in place to minimize the inconvenience as much as possible.

These tools shall consist of letters to businesses and industries, Project News bulletins distributed in affected sectors and the addition of information to the website. More information on the work is also available by calling Hydro-Québec’s Info-Project line.

When developing new projects, Hydro‑Québec strives to balance the three pillars of sustainable development: environmental, economic and social sustainability. Part of this process includes implementing a public participation plan to establish a dialogue with local residents throughout the study phase. By considering the concerns and expectations of both the public and local stakeholders, we can best adapt our projects to local realities.

Starting in spring 2019, Hydro‑Québec began informing and consulting with local authorities, elected officials and various target groups affected by the project. These initial encounters provided us with comments, suggestions, and information on key concerns, all of which will help us better prepare for the upcoming consultations.

Since November 2019, the project notice and the government directive have been available on the site of the Ministère de l’Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs at the following address: www.ree.environnement.gouv.qc.ca .
