GE Energy has been selected to supply up to 660 wind turbines, totaling 990 megawatts of wind-generated electricity, for eight projects in Quebec to be placed on line between years 2006 and 2012.
An announcement by Hydro-Quebec today marked the largest single award for new wind generation capacity in the history of the global wind energy industry. As a result of the proposal award, GE Energy will supply 740 megawatts of wind turbines to Cartier Wind Energy and 250 megawatts of wind turbines to Northland Power Inc./Northland Power Income Fund, both named as winning bidders.
Over the course of six years, GE’s wind turbines will be installed at several locations, including Baie-des-Sables, St-Ulric/St-Leandre, Les Mechins, Mont Louis, Ste-Madeleine-de-la-Riviere-Madeleine, Cloridorme, Gaspe and Carleton. The power generated will be provided to Hydro-Quebec Distribution, the utility’s retail division, for distribution throughout Quebec.
