Located in Sept-Îles, Quebec, the Sept-Îles solar project involves the construction of a photovoltaic power plant with a grid-connected capacity of 18.5 MW. The electricity generated will be fed into Hydro-Québec’s distribution grid under the A/O 2025-01 call for tenders.
This project actively contributes to the energy transition of the North Shore by increasing renewable energy production capacity and helping to diversify electricity supply sources, while supporting the stability of the regional grid.
The power plant will be developed on previously disturbed land—a former landfill site that was also used as a golf course and is now inactive. This reuse of an anthropized site helps limit the project’s environmental footprint by avoiding the use of new natural areas.
The project is being carried out in partnership with the City of Sept-Îles and the Innu Community of Uashat mak Mani-Utenam (ITUM), both of which will participate in the equity structure. This co-development approach aims to ensure a balanced sharing of economic benefits, promote social acceptance, and ensure harmonious integration into the host community.
