The St-Laurent Énergies consortium, with which wind turbine manufacturer REpower Systems AG has concluded an exclusive option agreement concerning the delivery of wind turbines last year, has announced that it has been awarded five wind projects by the energy supplier Hydro-Quebec Distribution, representing a total capacity of 954MW in the Canadian province of Québec.

The consortium is led by EDF Energies Nouvelles and includes Hydromega Services Inc., and RES Canada. The five wind farm projects have in-service dates between December 2011 and December 2015 and represent a total investment in excess of $ 2.0 billion.
