This achievement is the first of a seven-project program totaling 1003.2 MW.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"detail-content\">\n<p>Located in Quebec province, in the southeastern Estrie region, the Saint-Robert-Bellarmin wind power plant includes 40 wind turbines supplied by REpower, each with a unit capacity of 2 MW. The electricity generated will power the annual consumption equivalent of 18,000 homes and will be sold to Hydro Qu\u00e9bec under a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).<\/p>\n<p>This project is the first of seven projects awarded in 2008 to EDF Energies Nouvelles in Canada through Hydro Qu\u00e9bec wind energy calls for tenders. The Company will develop and build under this program, which runs until 2015, a total of 1,003.2 MW in the province. Two other wind projects, Massif du Sud (150 MW) and Lac Alfred (300 MW) are also under construction.<\/p>\n<p>As part of an agreement between REpower and EDF Energies Nouvelles, the installed turbines include a significant amount of locally manufactured content. The towers, the blades and the converters were built in different regions of Quebec.<\/p>\n<p>The Saint-Robert-Bellarmin project was developed and built by EDF EN Canada and will be operated and maintained by EDF Renewable Services, both local subsidiaries of EDF Energies Nouvelles.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThis achievement is the result of the exceptional development and construction efforts of our team in Quebec,\u201d<\/em> said Tristan Grimbert, President and Chief Executive Officer of EDF EN Canada. <em>\u201cWind energy has a great development potential in Quebec and this first success illustrates the momentum of EDF Energies Nouvelles&#039; activities in Canada, a country where we have strong ambitions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-about\"><strong>About EDF Energies Nouvelles<\/strong>EDF Energies Nouvelles is a market leader in renewable energy electricity, with a portfolio of more than 9 GW gross installed capacity focused for the most part on wind (onshore and offshore) and solar photovoltaic energy.
