Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Construction began last week on the Mont Sainte Marguerite Windfarm in Quebec. It will employ more than 200 craft workers at the peak of construction and provide 10 permanent jobs for the area. Industrial Info is tracking progress at the facility.
The 147.2-megawatt (MW) project, which is located about 50 kilometers south of Québec City in the Chaudière-Appalaches region, will utilize 46 direct-drive wind turbine generators from Siemens AG (Munich, Germany).

Borea will be responsible for hiring subcontractors through the project's duration. Pattern also entered into a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Hydro-Québec (Montreal, Quebec).
The Mont Sainte Marguerite Windfarm has a total investment value of $275 million and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2017.
