Chaudière-Appalaches region, Québec
Located within the municipal limits of Saint-Sylvestre, Saint-Séverin, and Sacré-Coeur-de-Jésus, Mont Sainte-Marguerite (MSM) Wind is on private lands surrounded by forests used to produce wood products and maple syrup.
MSM Wind contributes approximately $800,000 every year to the participating municipalities Saint-Sylvestre, Saint-Séverin, and Sacré-Coeur-de-Jésus to support local needs and community projects. The facility also supports local groups, events, and causes through sponsorships and donations.
Quebec-based Borea Construction managed the yearlong construction period that entailed more than 350 workers on-site during peak activity. With the help of local subcontractors and seasonal workers, about ten team members operate and maintain the facility.
The project consists of 46 Siemens 3.2 MW direct-drive wind turbines, totaling 143 MW of installed capacity.
Electricity produced by MSM Wind is equal to the annual needs of about 65,000 people and sold to Hydro Quebec under a 25-year power purchase agreement.
