EDF EN Canada has sold a 50% stake in the 74MW Mont Rothery wind farm in Quebec to MD1 Wind LP.
MD1 Wind LP is a limited partnership formed by four affiliated entities of the Desjardins Group, including Desjardins Group Pension Plan and Manulife Financial Corp.
The project, which is situated on public lands in Haute-Gaspésie and Côte-de-Gaspé, is comprised of 37 2MW turbines.
It reached commercial operation in December with electricity generated delivered to Hydro-Quebec Distribution under a 20-year power purchase agreement.
EDF EN Canada will provide management services and EDF Renewable Services will provide a portion of the current operations and maintenance services as well as 24/7 remote monitoring.
