Located in the Ruisseau-Ferguson unorganized territory in the MRC d’Avignon, Québec, Canada, approximately 300 miles east of Québec City, the Le Plateau 2 project comprises nine Enercon E-92 wind turbines.
Power generated from the wind farm will be sold to Hydro-Québec Distribution through a 20-year power purchase agreement.
Invenergy chief development officer Jim Shield said: "Le Plateau 2 enhances our growing presence in Québec and demonstrates our ability to work in partnership with local communities. The Régie is an excellent and innovative example of the benefits of economic diversification in the Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine region."
Régie spokesman Richard St-Laurent said: "The wind farm brings financial benefit to the municipalities through our share of the profits, in addition to the usual host voluntary payments. Our establishing a solid and successful relationship with Invenergy reflects a regional consensus and proves that by working together, we can achieve great results."
The facility is located nearby to the Invenergy-owned 138.6MW Le Plateau wind farm, which entered service in 2012, and also has a 20-year power purchase agreement with Hydro-Québec Distribution.
