Keep up to date with projects in development

The community energy concept developed by the community of Mashteuiatsh is attracting attention throughout Quebec. Having access to equitable benefits by developing resources in a responsible manner has convinced several communities to develop this type of project.

Pekuakamiulnuatsh Takuhikan has been approached to get involved in several projects throughout Quebec. The community thus shares the expertise and will be able to benefit from new sources of independent income. The projects currently being developed are those led by Énergie Matawak, Onimiki Renewable Energy and Énergie Communautaire de la Rivière Batiscan. The Développemebt PEK team acts as a service provider for each of the companies.

The Énergie Matawak project is being carried out jointly with the Conseil des Attikamekw de Manawan and the MRC de Matawinie. It consists of installing a mini power plant on the Matawin dam, a water regulation structure operated by Hydro-Québec in the Lanaudière region.

The Onimiki Renewable Energy Project is being developed with Kebaowek First Nation, Wolf Lake First Nation and the MRC de Témiscamingue. It aims to develop the hydroelectric potential of the Kipawa reservoir by building two hydroelectric power stations.

The Énergie Communautaire de la Rivière Batiscan project brings together the municipalité de Saint-Narcisse, the Conseil des Atikamekw de Wemotaci, the Nation Huron-Wendat and the MRC des Chenaux. The aim is to renovate and recommission the Saint-Narcisse power plant, currently owned by Hydro-Québec.

Communication is at the heart of any development project. Each company has a website, a newsletter, a Facebook page and an email address. Anyone interested is invited to find out more via the following links.
