1 INTRODUCTION
Wind energy has been used for thousands of years when the ancient Egyptians started to use wind to sail the Nile or
when the ancient Persians created the first windmills to grind grain and pump water
In North America windmills were first used to generate electricity in the 1800s and continued to do so up until the
1930s when the extension of the electric power grid to rural areas brought the decline of demand for electricity
generated on-site
In Canada wind is abundant and free The vast landscape the three windy coastlines the plains and mountains all
contribute to this bountiful resource Today scientists have just begun to tap into Canadarsquos potential wind resource
which currently powers the equivalent of 315000 Canadian homes In the future Canada is hoping to produce even
more Like Denmark Canada holds enough wind resources to cover 20 of the countryrsquos electricity demands which
represents enough electricity to power 17 million homes
Today in an era where climate change must be addressed and where industrialized companies are increasingly
turning to renewable energy in order to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions the continued evolution of wind
turbine technology makes wind energy a key energy supplier for the future Indeed wind energy is generating clean
electricity new jobs and economic development opportunities in communities across Canada While wind energy has
enjoyed growing success in many countries for several decades it is a relatively new contributor to the power system
here in Canada
THE CAPTURING SYSTEM OF THE WIND
Todayrsquos wind turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind and weather conditions The turbines work is simple The
blades spin and convert wind into electricity Wind turbines are built on towers that may measure a hundred meters
high so that the blades of the turbine are free of obstacles and may profit from a higher and more constant wind
speed
The blades turn in the wind and create mechanical power This power is then used to turn a generator and produce
electricity Cables carry this electrical current to transmission lines that then carry it to homes and businesses
Turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind conditions Generally the blades begin to turn when the wind reaches
13 kmh and shut off when the wind is too strong ndash 90 kmh and above The blades rotate to face the wind allowing
optimal wind harnessing from nearly any direction Turbines can ldquounwindrdquo to prevent internal cables from becoming
twisted
There are two types of wind turbines
Vertical axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is at right angles to the ground

Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Horizontal axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is parallel to the ground and in line with the
horizon These turbines are the ones most commonly used today
Vertical axis wind turbine Horizontal axis wind turbine

Wind turbines require
a minimum wind speed generally 12 to 14 kmh to begin to turn and produce low-level power
strong winds from 50 to 60 kmh to generate power at full capacity
winds below 90 kmh over this speed generation ceases to prevent equipment failure
Large-scale or commercial wind turbines must be distinguished from domestic wind turbines
Commercial wind turbines
These turbines have a tower between 80 and 100 meters high and 3 blades forming a rotor up to 90 meters in
diameter Each turbine has a generating capacity of between 1 and 3 Megawatts (MW) Large-scale turbines are
generally installed in groups forming a wind farm that feeds electricity into the main power grid Wind Turbines of 5
MW in production on experimental basis can reach more than 100 meters high
Domestic wind turbines
Domestic wind turbines are generally 8 to 12 meters high They have between 2 and 5 blades forming a rotor less
than 4 meters in diameter and generate a few kilowatts (kW) of power Domestic wind turbines give farms and
homes located off the main power grid an independent source of energy that can be used to meet some of their
heating needs or to power small electrical devices This is known as self-generation The capacity of each system is
limited to 50 kW and the rules governing the location height and set-back distances of self-generation systems are
set by the local municipality or regional county municipality

2 WIND ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD
According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) the world market for wind turbines set a new record in the
year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt (GW) after 376 GW in 2010 In 2012 WWEA also published
preleminary data presenting that the total capacity worldwide has come close to 239 GW which means enough to
cover 3 of the worldrsquos electricity demand
In 2011 China kept its strong position in the market coming to a total capacity of 63 GW which represents more than
one fourth of the global wind capacity The United States is the second largest producer of wind energy with a total
capacity of 47 GW Germany comes in third position with 30 GW
Among the largest producers India and Canada have been increasing strongly with new installation of wind turbines in
2011 France and Spain are also large producers
There are also many countries with high growth rates from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe such as Greece Turkey
Poland Romania and Ukraine

In Latin America Mexico is one of the main countries which has shown encouraging growth
Canada and especially the province of Ontario with its Green Energy Act adopted in 2009 is working on finding itself
as number five in terms of new capacity
In March 2012 the WWEA published some preliminary data on the worlds total installed wind energy capacity for its
World Wind Energy Report 2011
3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS
WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC
Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind
resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a
great position to maximize its wind energy potential
Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an
efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since
hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain
conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs
Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively
involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly
renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through
purchases from independent power producers
Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy
portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply
Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states
Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance
the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open
new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge
The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine
Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec
A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC
Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has
increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to
produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land
Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy
Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth
over the long term
CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic
components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are
complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is
working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with
manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives
- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information
to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry
- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that
want to come to Quebec
- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC
The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm
located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on
two different sites
In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and
to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to
supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie
region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one
manufacturer was selected
In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing
economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several
wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two
significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited
to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less
In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in
2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025
These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This
objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export
potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment
In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production
the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality
the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality
the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality
Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production
However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding
process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie
The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the
American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie
and Matane employing people from these regions
There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from
France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT
The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector
On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec
Contributes to the creation of new economical activities
Consolidates existing jobs
Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development
Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception
funding construction and management of wind farms
Encourages research and development investments
For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la
Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and
its regions such as
Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec
13
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms
More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation
Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region
Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14
billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions
Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low
growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order
to encourage
Development of new interconnections and new export markets
Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in
heating buildings and in industrial processes
4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING
In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune
(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro
Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003
As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the
development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for
economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment
In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a
project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms
IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS
A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of
intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project
the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State
identified therein
The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be
granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met
The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the
MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage
httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml
IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS
Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities
concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land
Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before
installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the
tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and
related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed
Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the
local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that
the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other
local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

1 INTRODUCTION
Wind energy has been used for thousands of years when the ancient Egyptians started to use wind to sail the Nile or
when the ancient Persians created the first windmills to grind grain and pump water
In North America windmills were first used to generate electricity in the 1800s and continued to do so up until the
1930s when the extension of the electric power grid to rural areas brought the decline of demand for electricity
generated on-site
In Canada wind is abundant and free The vast landscape the three windy coastlines the plains and mountains all
contribute to this bountiful resource Today scientists have just begun to tap into Canadarsquos potential wind resource
which currently powers the equivalent of 315000 Canadian homes In the future Canada is hoping to produce even
more Like Denmark Canada holds enough wind resources to cover 20 of the countryrsquos electricity demands which
represents enough electricity to power 17 million homes
Today in an era where climate change must be addressed and where industrialized companies are increasingly
turning to renewable energy in order to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions the continued evolution of wind
turbine technology makes wind energy a key energy supplier for the future Indeed wind energy is generating clean
electricity new jobs and economic development opportunities in communities across Canada While wind energy has
enjoyed growing success in many countries for several decades it is a relatively new contributor to the power system
here in Canada
THE CAPTURING SYSTEM OF THE WIND
Todayrsquos wind turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind and weather conditions The turbines work is simple The
blades spin and convert wind into electricity Wind turbines are built on towers that may measure a hundred meters
high so that the blades of the turbine are free of obstacles and may profit from a higher and more constant wind
speed
The blades turn in the wind and create mechanical power This power is then used to turn a generator and produce
electricity Cables carry this electrical current to transmission lines that then carry it to homes and businesses
Turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind conditions Generally the blades begin to turn when the wind reaches
13 kmh and shut off when the wind is too strong ndash 90 kmh and above The blades rotate to face the wind allowing
optimal wind harnessing from nearly any direction Turbines can ldquounwindrdquo to prevent internal cables from becoming
twisted
There are two types of wind turbines
Vertical axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is at right angles to the ground

Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Horizontal axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is parallel to the ground and in line with the
horizon These turbines are the ones most commonly used today
Vertical axis wind turbine Horizontal axis wind turbine
Source Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la faune
Wind turbines require
a minimum wind speed generally 12 to 14 kmh to begin to turn and produce low-level power
strong winds from 50 to 60 kmh to generate power at full capacity
winds below 90 kmh over this speed generation ceases to prevent equipment failure
Large-scale or commercial wind turbines must be distinguished from domestic wind turbines
Commercial wind turbines
These turbines have a tower between 80 and 100 meters high and 3 blades forming a rotor up to 90 meters in
diameter Each turbine has a generating capacity of between 1 and 3 Megawatts (MW) Large-scale turbines are
generally installed in groups forming a wind farm that feeds electricity into the main power grid Wind Turbines of 5
MW in production on experimental basis can reach more than 100 meters high
Domestic wind turbines
Domestic wind turbines are generally 8 to 12 meters high They have between 2 and 5 blades forming a rotor less
than 4 meters in diameter and generate a few kilowatts (kW) of power Domestic wind turbines give farms and
homes located off the main power grid an independent source of energy that can be used to meet some of their
heating needs or to power small electrical devices This is known as self-generation The capacity of each system is
limited to 50 kW and the rules governing the location height and set-back distances of self-generation systems are
set by the local municipality or regional county municipality

2 WIND ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD
According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) the world market for wind turbines set a new record in the
year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt (GW) after 376 GW in 2010 In 2012 WWEA also published
preleminary data presenting that the total capacity worldwide has come close to 239 GW which means enough to
cover 3 of the worldrsquos electricity demand
In 2011 China kept its strong position in the market coming to a total capacity of 63 GW which represents more than
one fourth of the global wind capacity The United States is the second largest producer of wind energy with a total
capacity of 47 GW Germany comes in third position with 30 GW
Among the largest producers India and Canada have been increasing strongly with new installation of wind turbines in
2011 France and Spain are also large producers
There are also many countries with high growth rates from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe such as Greece Turkey
Poland Romania and Ukraine

In Latin America Mexico is one of the main countries which has shown encouraging growth
Canada and especially the province of Ontario with its Green Energy Act adopted in 2009 is working on finding itself
as number five in terms of new capacity
In March 2012 the WWEA published some preliminary data on the worlds total installed wind energy capacity for its
World Wind Energy Report 2011
3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS
WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC
Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind
resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a
great position to maximize its wind energy potential
Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an
efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since
hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain
conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs
Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively
involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly
renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through
purchases from independent power producers
Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy
portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply
Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states
Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance
the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open
new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge
The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine
Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec
A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC
Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has
increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to
produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land
Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy
Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth
over the long term
CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic
components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are
complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is
working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with
manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives
- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information
to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry
- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that
want to come to Quebec
- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC
The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm
located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on
two different sites
In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and
to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to
supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie
region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one
manufacturer was selected
In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing
economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several
wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two
significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited
to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less
In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in
2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025
These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This
objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export
potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment
In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production
the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality
the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality
the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality
Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production
However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding
process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie
The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the
American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie
and Matane employing people from these regions
There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from
France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT
The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector
On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec
Contributes to the creation of new economical activities
Consolidates existing jobs
Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development
Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception
funding construction and management of wind farms
Encourages research and development investments
For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la
Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and
its regions such as
Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec
13
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms
More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation
Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region
Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14
billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions
Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low
growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order
to encourage
Development of new interconnections and new export markets
Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in
heating buildings and in industrial processes
4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING
In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune
(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro
Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003
As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the
development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for
economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment
In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

1 INTRODUCTION
Wind energy has been used for thousands of years when the ancient Egyptians started to use wind to sail the Nile or
when the ancient Persians created the first windmills to grind grain and pump water
In North America windmills were first used to generate electricity in the 1800s and continued to do so up until the
1930s when the extension of the electric power grid to rural areas brought the decline of demand for electricity
generated on-site
In Canada wind is abundant and free The vast landscape the three windy coastlines the plains and mountains all
contribute to this bountiful resource Today scientists have just begun to tap into Canadarsquos potential wind resource
which currently powers the equivalent of 315000 Canadian homes In the future Canada is hoping to produce even
more Like Denmark Canada holds enough wind resources to cover 20 of the countryrsquos electricity demands which
represents enough electricity to power 17 million homes
Today in an era where climate change must be addressed and where industrialized companies are increasingly
turning to renewable energy in order to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions the continued evolution of wind
turbine technology makes wind energy a key energy supplier for the future Indeed wind energy is generating clean
electricity new jobs and economic development opportunities in communities across Canada While wind energy has
enjoyed growing success in many countries for several decades it is a relatively new contributor to the power system
here in Canada
THE CAPTURING SYSTEM OF THE WIND
Todayrsquos wind turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind and weather conditions The turbines work is simple The
blades spin and convert wind into electricity Wind turbines are built on towers that may measure a hundred meters
high so that the blades of the turbine are free of obstacles and may profit from a higher and more constant wind
speed
The blades turn in the wind and create mechanical power This power is then used to turn a generator and produce
electricity Cables carry this electrical current to transmission lines that then carry it to homes and businesses
Turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind conditions Generally the blades begin to turn when the wind reaches
13 kmh and shut off when the wind is too strong ndash 90 kmh and above The blades rotate to face the wind allowing
optimal wind harnessing from nearly any direction Turbines can ldquounwindrdquo to prevent internal cables from becoming
twisted
There are two types of wind turbines
Vertical axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is at right angles to the ground

Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Horizontal axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is parallel to the ground and in line with the
horizon These turbines are the ones most commonly used today
Vertical axis wind turbine Horizontal axis wind turbine
Source Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la faune
Wind turbines require
a minimum wind speed generally 12 to 14 kmh to begin to turn and produce low-level power
strong winds from 50 to 60 kmh to generate power at full capacity
winds below 90 kmh over this speed generation ceases to prevent equipment failure
Large-scale or commercial wind turbines must be distinguished from domestic wind turbines
Commercial wind turbines
These turbines have a tower between 80 and 100 meters high and 3 blades forming a rotor up to 90 meters in
diameter Each turbine has a generating capacity of between 1 and 3 Megawatts (MW) Large-scale turbines are
generally installed in groups forming a wind farm that feeds electricity into the main power grid Wind Turbines of 5
MW in production on experimental basis can reach more than 100 meters high
Domestic wind turbines
Domestic wind turbines are generally 8 to 12 meters high They have between 2 and 5 blades forming a rotor less
than 4 meters in diameter and generate a few kilowatts (kW) of power Domestic wind turbines give farms and
homes located off the main power grid an independent source of energy that can be used to meet some of their
heating needs or to power small electrical devices This is known as self-generation The capacity of each system is
limited to 50 kW and the rules governing the location height and set-back distances of self-generation systems are
set by the local municipality or regional county municipality

2 WIND ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD
According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) the world market for wind turbines set a new record in the
year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt (GW) after 376 GW in 2010 In 2012 WWEA also published
preleminary data presenting that the total capacity worldwide has come close to 239 GW which means enough to
cover 3 of the worldrsquos electricity demand
In 2011 China kept its strong position in the market coming to a total capacity of 63 GW which represents more than
one fourth of the global wind capacity The United States is the second largest producer of wind energy with a total
capacity of 47 GW Germany comes in third position with 30 GW
Among the largest producers India and Canada have been increasing strongly with new installation of wind turbines in
2011 France and Spain are also large producers
There are also many countries with high growth rates from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe such as Greece Turkey
Poland Romania and Ukraine

In Latin America Mexico is one of the main countries which has shown encouraging growth
Canada and especially the province of Ontario with its Green Energy Act adopted in 2009 is working on finding itself
as number five in terms of new capacity
In March 2012 the WWEA published some preliminary data on the worlds total installed wind energy capacity for its
World Wind Energy Report 2011
3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS
WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC
Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind
resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a
great position to maximize its wind energy potential
Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an
efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since
hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain
conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs
Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively
involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly
renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through
purchases from independent power producers
Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy
portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply
Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states
Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance
the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open
new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge
The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine
Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec
A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC
Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has
increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to
produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land
Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy
Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth
over the long term
CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic
components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are
complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is
working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with
manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives
- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information
to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry
- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that
want to come to Quebec
- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC
The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm
located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on
two different sites
In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and
to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to
supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie
region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one
manufacturer was selected
In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing
economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several
wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two
significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited
to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less
In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in
2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025
These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This
objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export
potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment
In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production
the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality
the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality
the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality
Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production
However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding
process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie
The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the
American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie
and Matane employing people from these regions
There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from
France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT
The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector
On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec
Contributes to the creation of new economical activities
Consolidates existing jobs
Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development
Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception
funding construction and management of wind farms
Encourages research and development investments
For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la
Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and
its regions such as
Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec
13
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms
More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation
Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region
Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14
billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions
Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low
growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order
to encourage
Development of new interconnections and new export markets
Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in
heating buildings and in industrial processes
4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING
In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune
(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro
Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003
As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the
development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for
economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment
In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a
project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms
IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS
A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of
intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project
the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State
identified therein
The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be
granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met
The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the
MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage
httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml
IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS
Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities
concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land
Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before
installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the
tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and
related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed
Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the
local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that
the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other
local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

Market study on wind energy in Quebec
ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

1 INTRODUCTION
Wind energy has been used for thousands of years when the ancient Egyptians started to use wind to sail the Nile or
when the ancient Persians created the first windmills to grind grain and pump water
In North America windmills were first used to generate electricity in the 1800s and continued to do so up until the
1930s when the extension of the electric power grid to rural areas brought the decline of demand for electricity
generated on-site
In Canada wind is abundant and free The vast landscape the three windy coastlines the plains and mountains all
contribute to this bountiful resource Today scientists have just begun to tap into Canadarsquos potential wind resource
which currently powers the equivalent of 315000 Canadian homes In the future Canada is hoping to produce even
more Like Denmark Canada holds enough wind resources to cover 20 of the countryrsquos electricity demands which
represents enough electricity to power 17 million homes
Today in an era where climate change must be addressed and where industrialized companies are increasingly
turning to renewable energy in order to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions the continued evolution of wind
turbine technology makes wind energy a key energy supplier for the future Indeed wind energy is generating clean
electricity new jobs and economic development opportunities in communities across Canada While wind energy has
enjoyed growing success in many countries for several decades it is a relatively new contributor to the power system
here in Canada
THE CAPTURING SYSTEM OF THE WIND
Todayrsquos wind turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind and weather conditions The turbines work is simple The
blades spin and convert wind into electricity Wind turbines are built on towers that may measure a hundred meters
high so that the blades of the turbine are free of obstacles and may profit from a higher and more constant wind
speed
The blades turn in the wind and create mechanical power This power is then used to turn a generator and produce
electricity Cables carry this electrical current to transmission lines that then carry it to homes and businesses
Turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind conditions Generally the blades begin to turn when the wind reaches
13 kmh and shut off when the wind is too strong ndash 90 kmh and above The blades rotate to face the wind allowing
optimal wind harnessing from nearly any direction Turbines can ldquounwindrdquo to prevent internal cables from becoming
twisted
There are two types of wind turbines
Vertical axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is at right angles to the ground

Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Horizontal axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is parallel to the ground and in line with the
horizon These turbines are the ones most commonly used today
Vertical axis wind turbine Horizontal axis wind turbine
Source Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la faune
Wind turbines require
a minimum wind speed generally 12 to 14 kmh to begin to turn and produce low-level power
strong winds from 50 to 60 kmh to generate power at full capacity
winds below 90 kmh over this speed generation ceases to prevent equipment failure
Large-scale or commercial wind turbines must be distinguished from domestic wind turbines
Commercial wind turbines
These turbines have a tower between 80 and 100 meters high and 3 blades forming a rotor up to 90 meters in
diameter Each turbine has a generating capacity of between 1 and 3 Megawatts (MW) Large-scale turbines are
generally installed in groups forming a wind farm that feeds electricity into the main power grid Wind Turbines of 5
MW in production on experimental basis can reach more than 100 meters high
Domestic wind turbines
Domestic wind turbines are generally 8 to 12 meters high They have between 2 and 5 blades forming a rotor less
than 4 meters in diameter and generate a few kilowatts (kW) of power Domestic wind turbines give farms and
homes located off the main power grid an independent source of energy that can be used to meet some of their
heating needs or to power small electrical devices This is known as self-generation The capacity of each system is
limited to 50 kW and the rules governing the location height and set-back distances of self-generation systems are
set by the local municipality or regional county municipality

2 WIND ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD
According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) the world market for wind turbines set a new record in the
year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt (GW) after 376 GW in 2010 In 2012 WWEA also published
preleminary data presenting that the total capacity worldwide has come close to 239 GW which means enough to
cover 3 of the worldrsquos electricity demand
In 2011 China kept its strong position in the market coming to a total capacity of 63 GW which represents more than
one fourth of the global wind capacity The United States is the second largest producer of wind energy with a total
capacity of 47 GW Germany comes in third position with 30 GW
Among the largest producers India and Canada have been increasing strongly with new installation of wind turbines in
2011 France and Spain are also large producers
There are also many countries with high growth rates from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe such as Greece Turkey
Poland Romania and Ukraine

In Latin America Mexico is one of the main countries which has shown encouraging growth
Canada and especially the province of Ontario with its Green Energy Act adopted in 2009 is working on finding itself
as number five in terms of new capacity

3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS
WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC
Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind
resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a
great position to maximize its wind energy potential
Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an
efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since
hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain
conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs
Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively
involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly
renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through
purchases from independent power producers
Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy
portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply
Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states
Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance
the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open
new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge
The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine
Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec
A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC
Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has
increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to
produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land
Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy
Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth
over the long term
CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic
components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are
complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is
working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with
manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives
- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information
to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry
- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that
want to come to Quebec
- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC
The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm
located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on
two different sites
In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and
to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to
supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie
region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one
manufacturer was selected
In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing
economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several
wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two
significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited
to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less
In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in
2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025
These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This
objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export
potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment
In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production
the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality
the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality
the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality
Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production
However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding
process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie
The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the
American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie
and Matane employing people from these regions
There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from
France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT
The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector
On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec
Contributes to the creation of new economical activities
Consolidates existing jobs
Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development
Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception
funding construction and management of wind farms
Encourages research and development investments
For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la
Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and
its regions such as
Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec
13
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms
More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation
Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region
Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14
billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions
Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low
growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order
to encourage
Development of new interconnections and new export markets
Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in
heating buildings and in industrial processes
4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING
In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune
(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro
Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003
As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the
development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for
economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment
In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a
project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms
IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS
A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of
intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project
the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State
identified therein
The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be
granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met
The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the
MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage
httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml
IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS
Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities
concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land
Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before
installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the
tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and
related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed
Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the
local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that
the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other
local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States
20
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

1 INTRODUCTION
Wind energy has been used for thousands of years when the ancient Egyptians started to use wind to sail the Nile or
when the ancient Persians created the first windmills to grind grain and pump water
In North America windmills were first used to generate electricity in the 1800s and continued to do so up until the
1930s when the extension of the electric power grid to rural areas brought the decline of demand for electricity
generated on-site
In Canada wind is abundant and free The vast landscape the three windy coastlines the plains and mountains all
contribute to this bountiful resource Today scientists have just begun to tap into Canadarsquos potential wind resource
which currently powers the equivalent of 315000 Canadian homes In the future Canada is hoping to produce even
more Like Denmark Canada holds enough wind resources to cover 20 of the countryrsquos electricity demands which
represents enough electricity to power 17 million homes
Today in an era where climate change must be addressed and where industrialized companies are increasingly
turning to renewable energy in order to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions the continued evolution of wind
turbine technology makes wind energy a key energy supplier for the future Indeed wind energy is generating clean
electricity new jobs and economic development opportunities in communities across Canada While wind energy has
enjoyed growing success in many countries for several decades it is a relatively new contributor to the power system
here in Canada
THE CAPTURING SYSTEM OF THE WIND
Todayrsquos wind turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind and weather conditions The turbines work is simple The
blades spin and convert wind into electricity Wind turbines are built on towers that may measure a hundred meters
high so that the blades of the turbine are free of obstacles and may profit from a higher and more constant wind
speed
The blades turn in the wind and create mechanical power This power is then used to turn a generator and produce
electricity Cables carry this electrical current to transmission lines that then carry it to homes and businesses
Turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind conditions Generally the blades begin to turn when the wind reaches
13 kmh and shut off when the wind is too strong ndash 90 kmh and above The blades rotate to face the wind allowing
optimal wind harnessing from nearly any direction Turbines can ldquounwindrdquo to prevent internal cables from becoming
twisted
There are two types of wind turbines
Vertical axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is at right angles to the ground

Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Horizontal axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is parallel to the ground and in line with the
horizon These turbines are the ones most commonly used today
Vertical axis wind turbine Horizontal axis wind turbine
Source Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la faune
Wind turbines require
a minimum wind speed generally 12 to 14 kmh to begin to turn and produce low-level power
strong winds from 50 to 60 kmh to generate power at full capacity
winds below 90 kmh over this speed generation ceases to prevent equipment failure
Large-scale or commercial wind turbines must be distinguished from domestic wind turbines
Commercial wind turbines
These turbines have a tower between 80 and 100 meters high and 3 blades forming a rotor up to 90 meters in
diameter Each turbine has a generating capacity of between 1 and 3 Megawatts (MW) Large-scale turbines are
generally installed in groups forming a wind farm that feeds electricity into the main power grid Wind Turbines of 5
MW in production on experimental basis can reach more than 100 meters high
Domestic wind turbines
Domestic wind turbines are generally 8 to 12 meters high They have between 2 and 5 blades forming a rotor less
than 4 meters in diameter and generate a few kilowatts (kW) of power Domestic wind turbines give farms and
homes located off the main power grid an independent source of energy that can be used to meet some of their
heating needs or to power small electrical devices This is known as self-generation The capacity of each system is
limited to 50 kW and the rules governing the location height and set-back distances of self-generation systems are
set by the local municipality or regional county municipality

2 WIND ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD
According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) the world market for wind turbines set a new record in the
year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt (GW) after 376 GW in 2010 In 2012 WWEA also published
preleminary data presenting that the total capacity worldwide has come close to 239 GW which means enough to
cover 3 of the worldrsquos electricity demand
In 2011 China kept its strong position in the market coming to a total capacity of 63 GW which represents more than
one fourth of the global wind capacity The United States is the second largest producer of wind energy with a total
capacity of 47 GW Germany comes in third position with 30 GW
Among the largest producers India and Canada have been increasing strongly with new installation of wind turbines in
2011 France and Spain are also large producers
There are also many countries with high growth rates from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe such as Greece Turkey
Poland Romania and Ukraine

3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS
WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC
Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind
resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a
great position to maximize its wind energy potential
Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an
efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since
hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain
conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs
Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively
involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly
renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through
purchases from independent power producers
Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy
portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply
Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states
Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance
the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open
new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge
The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine
Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec
A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC
Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has
increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to
produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land
Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy
Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth
over the long term
CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic
components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are
complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is
working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with
manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives
- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information
to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry
- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that
want to come to Quebec
- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC
The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm
located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on
two different sites
In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and
to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to
supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie
region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one
manufacturer was selected
In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing
economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several
wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two
significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited
to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less
In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in
2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025
These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This
objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export
potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment
In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production
the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality
the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality
the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality
Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production
However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding
process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie
The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the
American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie
and Matane employing people from these regions
There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from
France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT
The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector
On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec
Contributes to the creation of new economical activities
Consolidates existing jobs
Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development
Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception
funding construction and management of wind farms
Encourages research and development investments
For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la
Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and
its regions such as
Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec
13
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms
More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation
Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region
Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14
billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions
Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low
growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order
to encourage
Development of new interconnections and new export markets
Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in
heating buildings and in industrial processes
4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING
In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune
(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro
Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003
As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the
development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for
economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment
In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a
project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms
IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS
A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of
intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project
the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State
identified therein
The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be
granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met
The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the
MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage
httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml
IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS
Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities
concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land
Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before
installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the
tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and
related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed
Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the
local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that
the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other
local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States
20
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

1 INTRODUCTION
Wind energy has been used for thousands of years when the ancient Egyptians started to use wind to sail the Nile or
when the ancient Persians created the first windmills to grind grain and pump water
In North America windmills were first used to generate electricity in the 1800s and continued to do so up until the
1930s when the extension of the electric power grid to rural areas brought the decline of demand for electricity
generated on-site
In Canada wind is abundant and free The vast landscape the three windy coastlines the plains and mountains all
contribute to this bountiful resource Today scientists have just begun to tap into Canadarsquos potential wind resource
which currently powers the equivalent of 315000 Canadian homes In the future Canada is hoping to produce even
more Like Denmark Canada holds enough wind resources to cover 20 of the countryrsquos electricity demands which
represents enough electricity to power 17 million homes
Today in an era where climate change must be addressed and where industrialized companies are increasingly
turning to renewable energy in order to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions the continued evolution of wind
turbine technology makes wind energy a key energy supplier for the future Indeed wind energy is generating clean
electricity new jobs and economic development opportunities in communities across Canada While wind energy has
enjoyed growing success in many countries for several decades it is a relatively new contributor to the power system
here in Canada
THE CAPTURING SYSTEM OF THE WIND
Todayrsquos wind turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind and weather conditions The turbines work is simple The
blades spin and convert wind into electricity Wind turbines are built on towers that may measure a hundred meters
high so that the blades of the turbine are free of obstacles and may profit from a higher and more constant wind
speed
The blades turn in the wind and create mechanical power This power is then used to turn a generator and produce
electricity Cables carry this electrical current to transmission lines that then carry it to homes and businesses
Turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind conditions Generally the blades begin to turn when the wind reaches
13 kmh and shut off when the wind is too strong ndash 90 kmh and above The blades rotate to face the wind allowing
optimal wind harnessing from nearly any direction Turbines can ldquounwindrdquo to prevent internal cables from becoming
twisted
There are two types of wind turbines
Vertical axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is at right angles to the ground

Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Horizontal axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is parallel to the ground and in line with the
horizon These turbines are the ones most commonly used today
Vertical axis wind turbine Horizontal axis wind turbine
Source Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la faune
Wind turbines require
a minimum wind speed generally 12 to 14 kmh to begin to turn and produce low-level power
strong winds from 50 to 60 kmh to generate power at full capacity
winds below 90 kmh over this speed generation ceases to prevent equipment failure
Large-scale or commercial wind turbines must be distinguished from domestic wind turbines
Commercial wind turbines
These turbines have a tower between 80 and 100 meters high and 3 blades forming a rotor up to 90 meters in
diameter Each turbine has a generating capacity of between 1 and 3 Megawatts (MW) Large-scale turbines are
generally installed in groups forming a wind farm that feeds electricity into the main power grid Wind Turbines of 5
MW in production on experimental basis can reach more than 100 meters high
Domestic wind turbines
Domestic wind turbines are generally 8 to 12 meters high They have between 2 and 5 blades forming a rotor less
than 4 meters in diameter and generate a few kilowatts (kW) of power Domestic wind turbines give farms and
homes located off the main power grid an independent source of energy that can be used to meet some of their
heating needs or to power small electrical devices This is known as self-generation The capacity of each system is
limited to 50 kW and the rules governing the location height and set-back distances of self-generation systems are
set by the local municipality or regional county municipality

2 WIND ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD
According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) the world market for wind turbines set a new record in the
year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt (GW) after 376 GW in 2010 In 2012 WWEA also published
preleminary data presenting that the total capacity worldwide has come close to 239 GW which means enough to
cover 3 of the worldrsquos electricity demand
In 2011 China kept its strong position in the market coming to a total capacity of 63 GW which represents more than
one fourth of the global wind capacity The United States is the second largest producer of wind energy with a total
capacity of 47 GW Germany comes in third position with 30 GW
Among the largest producers India and Canada have been increasing strongly with new installation of wind turbines in
2011 France and Spain are also large producers
There are also many countries with high growth rates from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe such as Greece Turkey
Poland Romania and Ukraine

3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS
WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC
Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind
resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a
great position to maximize its wind energy potential
Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an
efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since
hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain
conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs
Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively
involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly
renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through
purchases from independent power producers
Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy
portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply
Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states
Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance
the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open
new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge
The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine
Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec
A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC
Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has
increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to
produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land
Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy
Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth
over the long term
CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic
components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are
complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is
working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with
manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives
- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information
to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry
- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that
want to come to Quebec
- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC
The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm
located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on
two different sites
In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and
to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to
supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie
region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one
manufacturer was selected
In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing
economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several
wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two
significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited
to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less
In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in
2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025
These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This
objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export
potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment
In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production
the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality
the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality
the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality
Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production
However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding
process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie
The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the
American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie
and Matane employing people from these regions
There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from
France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT
The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector
On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec
Contributes to the creation of new economical activities
Consolidates existing jobs
Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development
Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception
funding construction and management of wind farms
Encourages research and development investments
For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la
Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and
its regions such as
Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec
13
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms
More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation
Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region
Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14
billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions
Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low
growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order
to encourage
Development of new interconnections and new export markets
Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in
heating buildings and in industrial processes
4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING
In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune
(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro
Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003
As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the
development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for
economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment
In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a
project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms
IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS
A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of
intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project
the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State
identified therein
The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be
granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met
The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the
MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage
httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml
IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS
Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities
concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land
Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before
installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the
tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and
related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed
Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the
local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that
the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other
local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States
20
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

Wind turbines require
a minimum wind speed generally 12 to 14 kmh to begin to turn and produce low-level power
strong winds from 50 to 60 kmh to generate power at full capacity
winds below 90 kmh over this speed generation ceases to prevent equipment failure
Large-scale or commercial wind turbines must be distinguished from domestic wind turbines
Commercial wind turbines
These turbines have a tower between 80 and 100 meters high and 3 blades forming a rotor up to 90 meters in
diameter Each turbine has a generating capacity of between 1 and 3 Megawatts (MW) Large-scale turbines are
generally installed in groups forming a wind farm that feeds electricity into the main power grid Wind Turbines of 5
MW in production on experimental basis can reach more than 100 meters high
Domestic wind turbines
Domestic wind turbines are generally 8 to 12 meters high They have between 2 and 5 blades forming a rotor less
than 4 meters in diameter and generate a few kilowatts (kW) of power Domestic wind turbines give farms and
homes located off the main power grid an independent source of energy that can be used to meet some of their
heating needs or to power small electrical devices This is known as self-generation The capacity of each system is
limited to 50 kW and the rules governing the location height and set-back distances of self-generation systems are
set by the local municipality or regional county municipality

2 WIND ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD
According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) the world market for wind turbines set a new record in the
year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt (GW) after 376 GW in 2010 In 2012 WWEA also published
preleminary data presenting that the total capacity worldwide has come close to 239 GW which means enough to
cover 3 of the worldrsquos electricity demand
In 2011 China kept its strong position in the market coming to a total capacity of 63 GW which represents more than
one fourth of the global wind capacity The United States is the second largest producer of wind energy with a total
capacity of 47 GW Germany comes in third position with 30 GW
Among the largest producers India and Canada have been increasing strongly with new installation of wind turbines in
2011 France and Spain are also large producers
There are also many countries with high growth rates from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe such as Greece Turkey
Poland Romania and Ukraine

3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS
WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC
Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind
resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a
great position to maximize its wind energy potential
Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an
efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since
hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain
conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs
Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively
involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly
renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through
purchases from independent power producers
Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy
portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply
Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states
Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance
the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open
new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge
The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine
Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec
A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC
Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has
increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to
produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land
Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy
Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth
over the long term
CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic
components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are
complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is
working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with
manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives
- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information
to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry
- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that
want to come to Quebec
- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC
The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm
located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on
two different sites
In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and
to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to
supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie
region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one
manufacturer was selected
In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing
economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several
wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two
significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited
to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less
In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in
2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025
These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This
objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export
potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment
In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production
the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality
the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality
the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality
Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production
However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding
process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie
The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the
American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie
and Matane employing people from these regions
There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from
France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT
The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector
On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec
Contributes to the creation of new economical activities
Consolidates existing jobs
Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development
Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception
funding construction and management of wind farms
Encourages research and development investments
For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la
Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and
its regions such as
Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec
13
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms
More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation
Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region
Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14
billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions
Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low
growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order
to encourage
Development of new interconnections and new export markets
Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in
heating buildings and in industrial processes
4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING
In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune
(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro
Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003
As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the
development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for
economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment
In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a
project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms
IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS
A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of
intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project
the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State
identified therein
The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be
granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met
The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the
MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage
httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml
IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS
Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities
concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land
Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before
installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the
tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and
related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed
Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the
local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that
the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other
local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States
20
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

2 WIND ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD
According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) the world market for wind turbines set a new record in the
year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt (GW) after 376 GW in 2010 In 2012 WWEA also published
preleminary data presenting that the total capacity worldwide has come close to 239 GW which means enough to
cover 3 of the worldrsquos electricity demand
In 2011 China kept its strong position in the market coming to a total capacity of 63 GW which represents more than
one fourth of the global wind capacity The United States is the second largest producer of wind energy with a total
capacity of 47 GW Germany comes in third position with 30 GW
Among the largest producers India and Canada have been increasing strongly with new installation of wind turbines in
2011 France and Spain are also large producers
There are also many countries with high growth rates from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe such as Greece Turkey
Poland Romania and Ukraine

3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS
WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC
Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind
resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a
great position to maximize its wind energy potential
Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an
efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since
hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain
conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs
Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively
involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly
renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through
purchases from independent power producers
Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy
portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply
Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states
Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance
the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open
new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge
The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine
Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec
A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC
Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has
increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to
produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land
Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy
Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth
over the long term
CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic
components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are
complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is
working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with
manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives
- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information
to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry
- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that
want to come to Quebec
- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC
The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm
located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on
two different sites
In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and
to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to
supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie
region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one
manufacturer was selected
In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing
economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several
wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two
significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited
to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less
In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in
2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025
These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This
objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export
potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment
In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production
the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality
the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality
the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality
Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production
However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding
process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie
The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the
American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie
and Matane employing people from these regions
There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from
France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT
The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector
On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec
Contributes to the creation of new economical activities
Consolidates existing jobs
Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development
Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception
funding construction and management of wind farms
Encourages research and development investments
For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la
Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and
its regions such as
Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec
13
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms
More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation
Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region
Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14
billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions
Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low
growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order
to encourage
Development of new interconnections and new export markets
Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in
heating buildings and in industrial processes
4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING
In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune
(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro
Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003
As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the
development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for
economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment
In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a
project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms
IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS
A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of
intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project
the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State
identified therein
The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be
granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met
The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the
MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage
httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml
IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS
Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities
concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land
Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before
installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the
tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and
related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed
Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the
local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that
the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other
local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States
20
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

In Latin America Mexico is one of the main countries which has shown encouraging growth
Canada and especially the province of Ontario with its Green Energy Act adopted in 2009 is working on finding itself
as number five in terms of new capacity
In March 2012 the WWEA published some preliminary data on the worlds total installed wind energy capacity for its
World Wind Energy Report 2011
3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS
WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC
Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind
resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a
great position to maximize its wind energy potential
Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an
efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since
hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain
conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs
Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively
involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly
renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through
purchases from independent power producers
Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy
portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply
Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states
Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance
the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open
new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge
The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine
Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec
A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC
Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has
increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to
produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land
Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy
Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth
over the long term
CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic
components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are
complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is
working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with
manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives
- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information
to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry
- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that
want to come to Quebec
- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC
The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm
located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on
two different sites
In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and
to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to
supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie
region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one
manufacturer was selected
In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing
economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several
wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two
significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited
to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less
In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in
2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025
These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This
objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export
potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment
In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production
the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality
the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality
the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality
Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production
However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding
process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie
The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the
American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie
and Matane employing people from these regions
There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from
France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec
13
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms
More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation
Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region
Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14
billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions
Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low
growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order
to encourage
Development of new interconnections and new export markets
Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in
heating buildings and in industrial processes
4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING
In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune
(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro
Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003
As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the
development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for
economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment
In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a
project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms
IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS
A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of
intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project
the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State
identified therein
The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be
granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met
The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the
MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage
httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml
IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS
Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities
concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land
Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before
installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the
tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and
related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed
Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the
local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that
the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other
local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly
renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through
purchases from independent power producers
Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy
portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply
Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states
Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance
the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open
new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge
The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine
Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec
A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC
Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has
increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to
produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land
Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy
Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth
over the long term
CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic
components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are
complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is
working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with
manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives
- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information
to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry
- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that
want to come to Quebec
- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC
The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm
located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on
two different sites
In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and
to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to
supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie
region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one
manufacturer was selected
In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing
economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several
wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two
significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited
to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less
In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in
2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025
These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This
objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export
potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment
In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production
the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality
the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality
the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality
Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production
However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to
1 First Nations are the communities of Native-Americans in Canada

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding
process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie
The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the
American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie
and Matane employing people from these regions
There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from
France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT
The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector
On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec
Contributes to the creation of new economical activities
Consolidates existing jobs
Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development
Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception
funding construction and management of wind farms
Encourages research and development investments
For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la
Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and
its regions such as
Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec
13
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms
More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation
Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region
Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14
billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions
Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low
growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order
to encourage
Development of new interconnections and new export markets
Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in
heating buildings and in industrial processes
4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING
In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune
(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro
Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003
As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the
development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for
economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment
In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a
project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms
IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS
A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of
intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project
the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State
identified therein
The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be
granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met
The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the
MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage
httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml
IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS
Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities
concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land
Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before
installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the
tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and
related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed
Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the
local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that
the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other
local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC
The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm
located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on
two different sites
In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and
to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to
supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie
region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one
manufacturer was selected
In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing
economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several
wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two
significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited
to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less
In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in
2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025
These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This
objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export
potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment
In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production
the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality
the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality
the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality
the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality
the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality
Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production
However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to
1 First Nations are the communities of Native-Americans in Canada

Market study on wind energy in Quebec
proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding
process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie
The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the
American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie
and Matane employing people from these regions
There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from
France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT
The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector
On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec
Contributes to the creation of new economical activities
Consolidates existing jobs
Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development
Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception
funding construction and management of wind farms
Encourages research and development investments
For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la
Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and
its regions such as
Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec
13
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms
More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation
Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region
Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14
billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions
Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low
growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order
to encourage
Development of new interconnections and new export markets
Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in
heating buildings and in industrial processes
4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING
In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune
(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro
Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003
As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the
development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for
economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment
In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a
project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms
IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS
A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of
intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project
the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State
identified therein
The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be
granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met
The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the
MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage
httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml
IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS
Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities
concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land
Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before
installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the
tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and
related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed
Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the
local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that
the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other
local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

Market study on wind energy in Quebec
ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

ECONOMIC IMPACT
The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector
On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec
Contributes to the creation of new economical activities
Consolidates existing jobs
Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development
Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception
funding construction and management of wind farms
Encourages research and development investments
For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la
Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and
its regions such as
Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec
13
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms
More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation
Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region
Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14
billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions
Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low
growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order
to encourage
Development of new interconnections and new export markets
Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in
heating buildings and in industrial processes
4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING
In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune
(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro
Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003
As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the
development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for
economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment
In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a
project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms
IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS
A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of
intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project
the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State
identified therein
The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be
granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met
The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the
MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage
httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml
IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS
Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities
concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land
Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before
installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the
tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and
related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed
Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the
local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that
the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other
local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States
20
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

ECONOMIC IMPACT
The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector
On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec
Contributes to the creation of new economical activities
Consolidates existing jobs
Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development
Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception
funding construction and management of wind farms
Encourages research and development investments
For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la
Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and
its regions such as
Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec
13
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms
More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation
Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region
Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14
billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions
Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low
growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order
to encourage
Development of new interconnections and new export markets
Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in
heating buildings and in industrial processes
4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING
In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune
(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro
Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003
As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the
development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for
economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment
In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a
project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms
IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS
A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of
intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project
the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State
identified therein
The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be
granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met
The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the
MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage
httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml
IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS
Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities
concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land
Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before
installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the
tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and
related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed
Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the
local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that
the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other
local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

ECONOMIC IMPACT
The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector
On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec
Contributes to the creation of new economical activities
Consolidates existing jobs
Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development
Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception
funding construction and management of wind farms
Encourages research and development investments
For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la
Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and
its regions such as
Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec
13
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms
More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation
Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region
Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14
billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions
Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low
growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order
to encourage
Development of new interconnections and new export markets
Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in
heating buildings and in industrial processes
4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING
In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune
(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro
Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003
As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the
development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for
economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment
In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a
project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms
IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS
A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of
intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project
the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State
identified therein
The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be
granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met
The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the
MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage
httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml
IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS
Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities
concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land
Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before
installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the
tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and
related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed
Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the
local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that
the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other
local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States
20
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms
More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation
Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region
Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14
billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions
Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low
growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order
to encourage
Development of new interconnections and new export markets
Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in
heating buildings and in industrial processes
4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING
In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune
(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro
Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003
As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the
development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for
economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment
In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a
project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms
IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS
A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of
intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project
the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State
identified therein
The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be
granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met
The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the
MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage
httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml
IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS
Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities
concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land
Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before
installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the
tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and
related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed
Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the
local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that
the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other
local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

Market study on wind energy in Quebec
ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)
The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop
its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th
parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried
out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that
time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration
The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro
Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy
the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the
North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be
undertaken in these Northern territories
Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the
governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind
power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government
of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion
The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power
This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses
Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity
underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry
Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology
The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in
Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS
In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that
38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these
domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States
being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals
operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business
(KPMG 2012)
The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72
participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from
electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very
little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS
KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009
Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada
These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest
domestically
19
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in
the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market
Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)
generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United
States (25) and India (7)
Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG
Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that
exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These
organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were
most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases
and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC
Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year
CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW
of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United
States)
As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable
electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces
In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy
production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase
its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export
21
Market study on wind energy in Quebec
CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory
for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will
increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand
electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business
opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector
