The Lac Alfred Wind Farm is located in the municipalities of Saint-Cléophas, Sainte-Irène, Saint-Zénon-du-Lac-Humqui and the unorganized
territory (UT) of Lac Alfred in the MRC de La Matapédia and in the municipality of La Rédemption and UT Lac-à-la-Croix in the MRC de La Mitis.
With an installed capacity of 300 MW, Lac Alfred will be amongst the largest in the country. Construction of the first 150 MW began in June 2011 and is expected to be completed in December 2012.
In order to encourage the participation of local businesses, the CLD (local development centre) de La Matapédia and La Mitis have produced a directory of
suppliers of goods and services. This directory lists companies interested in doing business with EDF EN Canada throughout the development of the Lac Alfred
wind project. Having familiarized itself with this directory and the resources in the region, EDF EN Canada wishes to involve several companies during the preparation
and construction phases, particularly in the fields of construction, transport, forestry services, retail, professional services, catering and housing, health
and entertainment.
Expected Economic Benefits
- Annual lease payments of over $1 million to the Quebec government
- Average annual utility tax payment of $900,000
- Creation of 250 jobs and investment of approximately $50 million for manufacturing wind turbine components in Gaspésie and the MRC de Matane
