MONTREAL, Qc. (March 15, 2023) – Invenergy, the leading privately held global developer, owner, and operator of sustainable energy solutions, today announced that the 350 megawatt (MW) Pohénégamook–Picard–Saint-Antonin (PPSA) Wind Energy Centre, developed in partnership with Alliance de l’énergie de l’Est, has been selected as one of the awarded projects by Hydro-Québec Distribution through it’s A/O 2021-01 call for tenders for the acquisition of renewable energy.
Located in Bas-Saint-Laurent, in Québec, the PPSA Wind Energy Centre is an investment of nearly 900 million dollars (CAD), representing one of the largest infrastructure projects in the region.
The project will produce enough electricity to power the equivalent of 50,000 homes once operational.

The project is expected to begin commercial operations in December 2026.
