EDF Energies Nouvelles has commissioned Lac-Alfred phase 2 wind park, with an installed capacity of 150 MW. This brings Lac-Alfred's total capacity up to 300 MW, amongst the largest wind parks in Quebec (Canada). With its total capacity, Lac-Alfred generates green energy equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of about 70,000 homes.
Lac-Alfred is co-owned by EDF EN Canada and Enbridge on a 50/50 basis. The electricity generated is purchased by Hydro-Quebec under a 20-year power purchase agreement. The 150 wind turbines (75 for each phase) were supplied by manufacturer REpower. EDF Renewable Services, a local subsidiary of EDF Energies Nouvelles, will operate and maintain the wind farm under a long-term Operations & Maintenance contract.
With Saint-Robert-Bellarmin (80 MW), Massif du Sud (150 MW) and Lac-Alfred (300 MW) wind farms, EDF Energies Nouvelles has completed over half of its 1 GW programme won under the Hydro-Quebec Distribution calls for tender in 2008 and 2010.
