Completion of phase two, consisting of 100 additional turbines, is scheduled for end of 2015. The project gives Senvion a footprint of almost 800 MW in Quebec, Canada.
The wind project, located in the Regional County Municipalities (RCM) of Charlevoix and Fjord du Saguenay, will be the largest wind energy facility in Canada signed under a single Power Purchase Agreement.
With 350 MW it is also one of the two biggest onshore contracts in the history of Senvion.
The wind farm, consisting of a total of 152 Senvion MM92 and 23 Senvion MM82 type turbines CCV, is expected to produce enough electricity to supply about 106 000 households with clean energy.
Towers, blades and converters are sourced locally from Quebec.
“With the completion of Rivière-du-Moulin, Senvion has an impressive footprint in Quebec which will continue to grow,” said Senvion CEO Andreas Nauen.
“I am very proud to see phase one of Rivière-du-Moulin reaching commercial operation," agreed Helmut Herold, CEO North America at Senvion Canada.
"Thanks to the great team effort of all partners and our dedicated and very experienced Senvion team, installation and commissioning of the wind farm went smoothly and we finished perfectly on schedule,” Nauen said.
