The year 2025 is already well underway as January draws to a close. Développement PEK will continue to put its expertise at the service of client companies.
Here is a brief summary of the projects currently being developed in which the community of Mashteuiatsh has agreed to be a partner.
Énergie Communautaire de la Rivière Batiscan
Various analyses will be carried out in order to obtain the data necessary to properly evaluate the project to revive the Saint-Narcisse power plant. In particular, an inspection of the intake gallery and an evaluation of the plant’s equipment will be carried out.
The information and consultation process will continue with consultations with the First Nations involved in the project, and targeted meetings with local organizations and Hydro-Québec.
In light of the results of the analyses, an informed decision as to whether or not the project will go ahead will be made by the administrators of Énergie Communautaire de la Rivière Batiscan. If so, the first work could begin towards the end of 2025.

Énergie Matawak
The environmental impact study is currently being drawn up. It should be submitted to the ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs in the next few weeks.
Subsequently, the environmental assessment will move on to the next stage, involving public participation and environmental analysis. Detailed engineering and discussions on the conclusion of an energy sales contract with Hydro-Québec are also planned.
Énergie Matawak still plans to start construction towards the end of 2025. Commissioning is anticipated for the end of 2027.
Énergie Renouvelable Onimiki
Onimiki Renewable Energy will hold new information and consultation meetings this spring with the population and organizations concerned by the project.
The information and consultation process will thus make it possible to discuss the issues in order to improve the project concept and directly integrate these modifications into the impact study, if necessary. Moreover, the study should be submitted to the ministère de l’Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs in the fall of 2025.
Le développement du projet se poursuivra alors que l’étape de l’ingénierie détaillée devrait s’amorcer. Énergie Renouvelable Onimiki s’assurera de maintenir de bonnes relations avec Hydro-Québec en prévision de discussions à tenir pour conclure un contrat de vente d’énergie.
Not to mention…
Développement PEK continues to manage and operate the power plants of its client companies. In fact, the Val-Jalbert mini power plant will celebrate the 10th anniversary of its commissioning in 2025. This will be an opportunity to showcase this mini power plant, which is an exceptional calling card for the energy sector.
