1 INTRODUCTION

Wind energy has been used for thousands of years when the ancient Egyptians started to use wind to sail the Nile or

when the ancient Persians created the first windmills to grind grain and pump water

In North America windmills were first used to generate electricity in the 1800s and continued to do so up until the

1930s when the extension of the electric power grid to rural areas brought the decline of demand for electricity

generated on-site

In Canada wind is abundant and free The vast landscape the three windy coastlines the plains and mountains all

contribute to this bountiful resource Today scientists have just begun to tap into Canadarsquos potential wind resource

which currently powers the equivalent of 315000 Canadian homes In the future Canada is hoping to produce even

more Like Denmark Canada holds enough wind resources to cover 20 of the countryrsquos electricity demands which

represents enough electricity to power 17 million homes

Today in an era where climate change must be addressed and where industrialized companies are increasingly

turning to renewable energy in order to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions the continued evolution of wind

turbine technology makes wind energy a key energy supplier for the future Indeed wind energy is generating clean

electricity new jobs and economic development opportunities in communities across Canada While wind energy has

enjoyed growing success in many countries for several decades it is a relatively new contributor to the power system

here in Canada

THE CAPTURING SYSTEM OF THE WIND

Todayrsquos wind turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind and weather conditions The turbines work is simple The

blades spin and convert wind into electricity Wind turbines are built on towers that may measure a hundred meters

high so that the blades of the turbine are free of obstacles and may profit from a higher and more constant wind

speed

The blades turn in the wind and create mechanical power This power is then used to turn a generator and produce

electricity Cables carry this electrical current to transmission lines that then carry it to homes and businesses

Turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind conditions Generally the blades begin to turn when the wind reaches

13 kmh and shut off when the wind is too strong ndash 90 kmh and above The blades rotate to face the wind allowing

optimal wind harnessing from nearly any direction Turbines can ldquounwindrdquo to prevent internal cables from becoming

twisted

There are two types of wind turbines

Vertical axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is at right angles to the ground

5

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Horizontal axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is parallel to the ground and in line with the

horizon These turbines are the ones most commonly used today

Vertical axis wind turbine Horizontal axis wind turbine

Wind turbines require

a minimum wind speed generally 12 to 14 kmh to begin to turn and produce low-level power

strong winds from 50 to 60 kmh to generate power at full capacity

winds below 90 kmh over this speed generation ceases to prevent equipment failure

Large-scale or commercial wind turbines must be distinguished from domestic wind turbines

Commercial wind turbines

These turbines have a tower between 80 and 100 meters high and 3 blades forming a rotor up to 90 meters in

diameter Each turbine has a generating capacity of between 1 and 3 Megawatts (MW) Large-scale turbines are

generally installed in groups forming a wind farm that feeds electricity into the main power grid Wind Turbines of 5

MW in production on experimental basis can reach more than 100 meters high

Domestic wind turbines

Domestic wind turbines are generally 8 to 12 meters high They have between 2 and 5 blades forming a rotor less

than 4 meters in diameter and generate a few kilowatts (kW) of power Domestic wind turbines give farms and

homes located off the main power grid an independent source of energy that can be used to meet some of their

heating needs or to power small electrical devices This is known as self-generation The capacity of each system is

limited to 50 kW and the rules governing the location height and set-back distances of self-generation systems are

set by the local municipality or regional county municipality

2 WIND ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD

According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) the world market for wind turbines set a new record in the

year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt (GW) after 376 GW in 2010 In 2012 WWEA also published

preleminary data presenting that the total capacity worldwide has come close to 239 GW which means enough to

cover 3 of the worldrsquos electricity demand

In 2011 China kept its strong position in the market coming to a total capacity of 63 GW which represents more than

one fourth of the global wind capacity The United States is the second largest producer of wind energy with a total

capacity of 47 GW Germany comes in third position with 30 GW

Among the largest producers India and Canada have been increasing strongly with new installation of wind turbines in

2011 France and Spain are also large producers

There are also many countries with high growth rates from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe such as Greece Turkey

Poland Romania and Ukraine

In Latin America Mexico is one of the main countries which has shown encouraging growth

Canada and especially the province of Ontario with its Green Energy Act adopted in 2009 is working on finding itself

as number five in terms of new capacity

In March 2012 the WWEA published some preliminary data on the worlds total installed wind energy capacity for its

3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS

WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC

Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind

resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a

great position to maximize its wind energy potential

Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an

efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since

hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain

conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs

Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively

involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly

renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through

purchases from independent power producers

Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy

portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply

Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states

Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance

the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open

new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge

The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine

Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec

A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC

Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has

increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to

produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land

Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy

Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth

over the long term

CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic

components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are

complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is

working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with

manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives

- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information

to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry

- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that

want to come to Quebec

- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC

The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm

located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on

two different sites

In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and

to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to

supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie

region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one

manufacturer was selected

In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing

economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several

wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two

significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited

to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less

In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in

2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025

These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This

objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export

potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment

In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production

the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality

the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality

the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality

Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production

However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

1 First Nations are the communities of Native-Americans in Canada

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding

process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie

The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the

American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie

and Matane employing people from these regions

There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from

France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector

On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec

Contributes to the creation of new economical activities

Consolidates existing jobs

Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development

Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception

funding construction and management of wind farms

Encourages research and development investments

For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la

Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and

its regions such as

Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec

13

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms

More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation

Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region

Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14

billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions

Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low

growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order

to encourage

Development of new interconnections and new export markets

Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in

heating buildings and in industrial processes

4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING

In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune

(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro

Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003

As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the

development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for

economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment

In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a

project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms

IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS

A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of

intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project

the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State

identified therein

The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be

granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met

The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the

MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml

IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS

Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities

concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land

Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before

installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the

tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and

related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed

Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the

local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that

the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other

local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

1 INTRODUCTION

Wind energy has been used for thousands of years when the ancient Egyptians started to use wind to sail the Nile or

when the ancient Persians created the first windmills to grind grain and pump water

In North America windmills were first used to generate electricity in the 1800s and continued to do so up until the

1930s when the extension of the electric power grid to rural areas brought the decline of demand for electricity

generated on-site

In Canada wind is abundant and free The vast landscape the three windy coastlines the plains and mountains all

contribute to this bountiful resource Today scientists have just begun to tap into Canadarsquos potential wind resource

which currently powers the equivalent of 315000 Canadian homes In the future Canada is hoping to produce even

more Like Denmark Canada holds enough wind resources to cover 20 of the countryrsquos electricity demands which

represents enough electricity to power 17 million homes

Today in an era where climate change must be addressed and where industrialized companies are increasingly

turning to renewable energy in order to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions the continued evolution of wind

turbine technology makes wind energy a key energy supplier for the future Indeed wind energy is generating clean

electricity new jobs and economic development opportunities in communities across Canada While wind energy has

enjoyed growing success in many countries for several decades it is a relatively new contributor to the power system

here in Canada

THE CAPTURING SYSTEM OF THE WIND

Todayrsquos wind turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind and weather conditions The turbines work is simple The

blades spin and convert wind into electricity Wind turbines are built on towers that may measure a hundred meters

high so that the blades of the turbine are free of obstacles and may profit from a higher and more constant wind

speed

The blades turn in the wind and create mechanical power This power is then used to turn a generator and produce

electricity Cables carry this electrical current to transmission lines that then carry it to homes and businesses

Turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind conditions Generally the blades begin to turn when the wind reaches

13 kmh and shut off when the wind is too strong ndash 90 kmh and above The blades rotate to face the wind allowing

optimal wind harnessing from nearly any direction Turbines can ldquounwindrdquo to prevent internal cables from becoming

twisted

There are two types of wind turbines

Vertical axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is at right angles to the ground

5

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Horizontal axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is parallel to the ground and in line with the

horizon These turbines are the ones most commonly used today

Vertical axis wind turbine Horizontal axis wind turbine

Source Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la faune

Wind turbines require

a minimum wind speed generally 12 to 14 kmh to begin to turn and produce low-level power

strong winds from 50 to 60 kmh to generate power at full capacity

winds below 90 kmh over this speed generation ceases to prevent equipment failure

Large-scale or commercial wind turbines must be distinguished from domestic wind turbines

Commercial wind turbines

These turbines have a tower between 80 and 100 meters high and 3 blades forming a rotor up to 90 meters in

diameter Each turbine has a generating capacity of between 1 and 3 Megawatts (MW) Large-scale turbines are

generally installed in groups forming a wind farm that feeds electricity into the main power grid Wind Turbines of 5

MW in production on experimental basis can reach more than 100 meters high

Domestic wind turbines

Domestic wind turbines are generally 8 to 12 meters high They have between 2 and 5 blades forming a rotor less

than 4 meters in diameter and generate a few kilowatts (kW) of power Domestic wind turbines give farms and

homes located off the main power grid an independent source of energy that can be used to meet some of their

heating needs or to power small electrical devices This is known as self-generation The capacity of each system is

limited to 50 kW and the rules governing the location height and set-back distances of self-generation systems are

set by the local municipality or regional county municipality

2 WIND ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD

According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) the world market for wind turbines set a new record in the

year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt (GW) after 376 GW in 2010 In 2012 WWEA also published

preleminary data presenting that the total capacity worldwide has come close to 239 GW which means enough to

cover 3 of the worldrsquos electricity demand

In 2011 China kept its strong position in the market coming to a total capacity of 63 GW which represents more than

one fourth of the global wind capacity The United States is the second largest producer of wind energy with a total

capacity of 47 GW Germany comes in third position with 30 GW

Among the largest producers India and Canada have been increasing strongly with new installation of wind turbines in

2011 France and Spain are also large producers

There are also many countries with high growth rates from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe such as Greece Turkey

Poland Romania and Ukraine

3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS

WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC

Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind

resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a

great position to maximize its wind energy potential

Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an

efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since

hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain

conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs

Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively

involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly

renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through

purchases from independent power producers

Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy

portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply

Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states

Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance

the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open

new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge

The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine

Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec

A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC

Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has

increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to

produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land

Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy

Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth

over the long term

CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic

components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are

complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is

working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with

manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives

- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information

to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry

- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that

want to come to Quebec

- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC

The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm

located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on

two different sites

In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and

to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to

supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie

region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one

manufacturer was selected

In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing

economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several

wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two

significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited

to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less

In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in

2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025

These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This

objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export

potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment

In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production

the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality

the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality

the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality

Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production

However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding

process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie

The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the

American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie

and Matane employing people from these regions

There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from

France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector

On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec

Contributes to the creation of new economical activities

Consolidates existing jobs

Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development

Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception

funding construction and management of wind farms

Encourages research and development investments

For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la

Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and

its regions such as

Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec

13

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms

More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation

Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region

Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14

billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions

Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low

growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order

to encourage

Development of new interconnections and new export markets

Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in

heating buildings and in industrial processes

4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING

In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune

(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro

Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003

As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the

development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for

economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment

In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a

project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms

IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS

A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of

intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project

the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State

identified therein

The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be

granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met

The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the

MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml

IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS

Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities

concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land

Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before

installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the

tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and

related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed

Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the

local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that

the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other

local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in

Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

1 INTRODUCTION

Wind energy has been used for thousands of years when the ancient Egyptians started to use wind to sail the Nile or

when the ancient Persians created the first windmills to grind grain and pump water

In North America windmills were first used to generate electricity in the 1800s and continued to do so up until the

1930s when the extension of the electric power grid to rural areas brought the decline of demand for electricity

generated on-site

In Canada wind is abundant and free The vast landscape the three windy coastlines the plains and mountains all

contribute to this bountiful resource Today scientists have just begun to tap into Canadarsquos potential wind resource

which currently powers the equivalent of 315000 Canadian homes In the future Canada is hoping to produce even

more Like Denmark Canada holds enough wind resources to cover 20 of the countryrsquos electricity demands which

represents enough electricity to power 17 million homes

Today in an era where climate change must be addressed and where industrialized companies are increasingly

turning to renewable energy in order to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions the continued evolution of wind

turbine technology makes wind energy a key energy supplier for the future Indeed wind energy is generating clean

electricity new jobs and economic development opportunities in communities across Canada While wind energy has

enjoyed growing success in many countries for several decades it is a relatively new contributor to the power system

here in Canada

THE CAPTURING SYSTEM OF THE WIND

Todayrsquos wind turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind and weather conditions The turbines work is simple The

blades spin and convert wind into electricity Wind turbines are built on towers that may measure a hundred meters

high so that the blades of the turbine are free of obstacles and may profit from a higher and more constant wind

speed

The blades turn in the wind and create mechanical power This power is then used to turn a generator and produce

electricity Cables carry this electrical current to transmission lines that then carry it to homes and businesses

Turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind conditions Generally the blades begin to turn when the wind reaches

13 kmh and shut off when the wind is too strong ndash 90 kmh and above The blades rotate to face the wind allowing

optimal wind harnessing from nearly any direction Turbines can ldquounwindrdquo to prevent internal cables from becoming

twisted

There are two types of wind turbines

Vertical axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is at right angles to the ground

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Horizontal axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is parallel to the ground and in line with the

horizon These turbines are the ones most commonly used today

Vertical axis wind turbine Horizontal axis wind turbine

Source Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la faune

Wind turbines require

a minimum wind speed generally 12 to 14 kmh to begin to turn and produce low-level power

strong winds from 50 to 60 kmh to generate power at full capacity

winds below 90 kmh over this speed generation ceases to prevent equipment failure

Large-scale or commercial wind turbines must be distinguished from domestic wind turbines

Commercial wind turbines

These turbines have a tower between 80 and 100 meters high and 3 blades forming a rotor up to 90 meters in

diameter Each turbine has a generating capacity of between 1 and 3 Megawatts (MW) Large-scale turbines are

generally installed in groups forming a wind farm that feeds electricity into the main power grid Wind Turbines of 5

MW in production on experimental basis can reach more than 100 meters high

Domestic wind turbines

Domestic wind turbines are generally 8 to 12 meters high They have between 2 and 5 blades forming a rotor less

than 4 meters in diameter and generate a few kilowatts (kW) of power Domestic wind turbines give farms and

homes located off the main power grid an independent source of energy that can be used to meet some of their

heating needs or to power small electrical devices This is known as self-generation The capacity of each system is

limited to 50 kW and the rules governing the location height and set-back distances of self-generation systems are

set by the local municipality or regional county municipality

2 WIND ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD

According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) the world market for wind turbines set a new record in the

year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt (GW) after 376 GW in 2010 In 2012 WWEA also published

preleminary data presenting that the total capacity worldwide has come close to 239 GW which means enough to

cover 3 of the worldrsquos electricity demand

In 2011 China kept its strong position in the market coming to a total capacity of 63 GW which represents more than

one fourth of the global wind capacity The United States is the second largest producer of wind energy with a total

capacity of 47 GW Germany comes in third position with 30 GW

Among the largest producers India and Canada have been increasing strongly with new installation of wind turbines in

2011 France and Spain are also large producers

There are also many countries with high growth rates from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe such as Greece Turkey

Poland Romania and Ukraine

In Latin America Mexico is one of the main countries which has shown encouraging growth

Canada and especially the province of Ontario with its Green Energy Act adopted in 2009 is working on finding itself

as number five in terms of new capacity

3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS

WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC

Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind

resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a

great position to maximize its wind energy potential

Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an

efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since

hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain

conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs

Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively

involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly

renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through

purchases from independent power producers

Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy

portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply

Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states

Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance

the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open

new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge

The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine

Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec

A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC

Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has

increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to

produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land

Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy

Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth

over the long term

CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic

components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are

complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is

working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with

manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives

- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information

to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry

- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that

want to come to Quebec

- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC

The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm

located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on

two different sites

In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and

to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to

supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie

region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one

manufacturer was selected

In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing

economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several

wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two

significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited

to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less

In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in

2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025

These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This

objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export

potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment

In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production

the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality

the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality

the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality

Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production

However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding

process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie

The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the

American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie

and Matane employing people from these regions

There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from

France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector

On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec

Contributes to the creation of new economical activities

Consolidates existing jobs

Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development

Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception

funding construction and management of wind farms

Encourages research and development investments

For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la

Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and

its regions such as

Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec

13

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms

More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation

Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region

Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14

billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions

Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low

growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order

to encourage

Development of new interconnections and new export markets

Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in

heating buildings and in industrial processes

4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING

In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune

(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro

Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003

As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the

development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for

economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment

In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a

project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms

IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS

A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of

intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project

the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State

identified therein

The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be

granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met

The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the

MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage

httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml

IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS

Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities

concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land

Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before

installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the

tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and

related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed

Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the

local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that

the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other

local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in

Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

20

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

1 INTRODUCTION

Wind energy has been used for thousands of years when the ancient Egyptians started to use wind to sail the Nile or

when the ancient Persians created the first windmills to grind grain and pump water

In North America windmills were first used to generate electricity in the 1800s and continued to do so up until the

1930s when the extension of the electric power grid to rural areas brought the decline of demand for electricity

generated on-site

In Canada wind is abundant and free The vast landscape the three windy coastlines the plains and mountains all

contribute to this bountiful resource Today scientists have just begun to tap into Canadarsquos potential wind resource

which currently powers the equivalent of 315000 Canadian homes In the future Canada is hoping to produce even

more Like Denmark Canada holds enough wind resources to cover 20 of the countryrsquos electricity demands which

represents enough electricity to power 17 million homes

Today in an era where climate change must be addressed and where industrialized companies are increasingly

turning to renewable energy in order to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions the continued evolution of wind

turbine technology makes wind energy a key energy supplier for the future Indeed wind energy is generating clean

electricity new jobs and economic development opportunities in communities across Canada While wind energy has

enjoyed growing success in many countries for several decades it is a relatively new contributor to the power system

here in Canada

THE CAPTURING SYSTEM OF THE WIND

Todayrsquos wind turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind and weather conditions The turbines work is simple The

blades spin and convert wind into electricity Wind turbines are built on towers that may measure a hundred meters

high so that the blades of the turbine are free of obstacles and may profit from a higher and more constant wind

speed

The blades turn in the wind and create mechanical power This power is then used to turn a generator and produce

electricity Cables carry this electrical current to transmission lines that then carry it to homes and businesses

Turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind conditions Generally the blades begin to turn when the wind reaches

13 kmh and shut off when the wind is too strong ndash 90 kmh and above The blades rotate to face the wind allowing

optimal wind harnessing from nearly any direction Turbines can ldquounwindrdquo to prevent internal cables from becoming

twisted

There are two types of wind turbines

Vertical axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is at right angles to the ground

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Horizontal axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is parallel to the ground and in line with the

horizon These turbines are the ones most commonly used today

Vertical axis wind turbine Horizontal axis wind turbine

Source Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la faune

Wind turbines require

a minimum wind speed generally 12 to 14 kmh to begin to turn and produce low-level power

strong winds from 50 to 60 kmh to generate power at full capacity

winds below 90 kmh over this speed generation ceases to prevent equipment failure

Large-scale or commercial wind turbines must be distinguished from domestic wind turbines

Commercial wind turbines

These turbines have a tower between 80 and 100 meters high and 3 blades forming a rotor up to 90 meters in

diameter Each turbine has a generating capacity of between 1 and 3 Megawatts (MW) Large-scale turbines are

generally installed in groups forming a wind farm that feeds electricity into the main power grid Wind Turbines of 5

MW in production on experimental basis can reach more than 100 meters high

Domestic wind turbines

Domestic wind turbines are generally 8 to 12 meters high They have between 2 and 5 blades forming a rotor less

than 4 meters in diameter and generate a few kilowatts (kW) of power Domestic wind turbines give farms and

homes located off the main power grid an independent source of energy that can be used to meet some of their

heating needs or to power small electrical devices This is known as self-generation The capacity of each system is

limited to 50 kW and the rules governing the location height and set-back distances of self-generation systems are

set by the local municipality or regional county municipality

2 WIND ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD

According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) the world market for wind turbines set a new record in the

year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt (GW) after 376 GW in 2010 In 2012 WWEA also published

preleminary data presenting that the total capacity worldwide has come close to 239 GW which means enough to

cover 3 of the worldrsquos electricity demand

In 2011 China kept its strong position in the market coming to a total capacity of 63 GW which represents more than

one fourth of the global wind capacity The United States is the second largest producer of wind energy with a total

capacity of 47 GW Germany comes in third position with 30 GW

Among the largest producers India and Canada have been increasing strongly with new installation of wind turbines in

2011 France and Spain are also large producers

There are also many countries with high growth rates from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe such as Greece Turkey

Poland Romania and Ukraine

In Latin America Mexico is one of the main countries which has shown encouraging growth

Canada and especially the province of Ontario with its Green Energy Act adopted in 2009 is working on finding itself

as number five in terms of new capacity

3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS

WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC

Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind

resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a

great position to maximize its wind energy potential

Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an

efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since

hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain

conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs

Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively

involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly

renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through

purchases from independent power producers

Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy

portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply

Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states

Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance

the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open

new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge

The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine

Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec

A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC

Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has

increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to

produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land

Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy

Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth

over the long term

CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic

components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are

complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is

working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with

manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives

- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information

to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry

- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that

want to come to Quebec

- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC

The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm

located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on

two different sites

In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and

to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to

supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie

region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one

manufacturer was selected

In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing

economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several

wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two

significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited

to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less

In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in

2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025

These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This

objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export

potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment

In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production

the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality

the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality

the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality

Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production

However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding

process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie

The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the

American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie

and Matane employing people from these regions

There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from

France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector

On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec

Contributes to the creation of new economical activities

Consolidates existing jobs

Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development

Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception

funding construction and management of wind farms

Encourages research and development investments

For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la

Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and

its regions such as

Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec

13

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms

More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation

Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region

Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14

billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions

Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low

growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order

to encourage

Development of new interconnections and new export markets

Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in

heating buildings and in industrial processes

4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING

In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune

(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro

Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003

As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the

development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for

economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment

In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a

project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms

IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS

A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of

intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project

the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State

identified therein

The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be

granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met

The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the

MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage

httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml

IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS

Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities

concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land

Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before

installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the

tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and

related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed

Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the

local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that

the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other

local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in

Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

20

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

1 INTRODUCTION

Wind energy has been used for thousands of years when the ancient Egyptians started to use wind to sail the Nile or

when the ancient Persians created the first windmills to grind grain and pump water

In North America windmills were first used to generate electricity in the 1800s and continued to do so up until the

1930s when the extension of the electric power grid to rural areas brought the decline of demand for electricity

generated on-site

In Canada wind is abundant and free The vast landscape the three windy coastlines the plains and mountains all

contribute to this bountiful resource Today scientists have just begun to tap into Canadarsquos potential wind resource

which currently powers the equivalent of 315000 Canadian homes In the future Canada is hoping to produce even

more Like Denmark Canada holds enough wind resources to cover 20 of the countryrsquos electricity demands which

represents enough electricity to power 17 million homes

Today in an era where climate change must be addressed and where industrialized companies are increasingly

turning to renewable energy in order to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions the continued evolution of wind

turbine technology makes wind energy a key energy supplier for the future Indeed wind energy is generating clean

electricity new jobs and economic development opportunities in communities across Canada While wind energy has

enjoyed growing success in many countries for several decades it is a relatively new contributor to the power system

here in Canada

THE CAPTURING SYSTEM OF THE WIND

Todayrsquos wind turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind and weather conditions The turbines work is simple The

blades spin and convert wind into electricity Wind turbines are built on towers that may measure a hundred meters

high so that the blades of the turbine are free of obstacles and may profit from a higher and more constant wind

speed

The blades turn in the wind and create mechanical power This power is then used to turn a generator and produce

electricity Cables carry this electrical current to transmission lines that then carry it to homes and businesses

Turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind conditions Generally the blades begin to turn when the wind reaches

13 kmh and shut off when the wind is too strong ndash 90 kmh and above The blades rotate to face the wind allowing

optimal wind harnessing from nearly any direction Turbines can ldquounwindrdquo to prevent internal cables from becoming

twisted

There are two types of wind turbines

Vertical axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is at right angles to the ground

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Horizontal axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is parallel to the ground and in line with the

horizon These turbines are the ones most commonly used today

Vertical axis wind turbine Horizontal axis wind turbine

Source Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la faune

Wind turbines require

a minimum wind speed generally 12 to 14 kmh to begin to turn and produce low-level power

strong winds from 50 to 60 kmh to generate power at full capacity

winds below 90 kmh over this speed generation ceases to prevent equipment failure

Large-scale or commercial wind turbines must be distinguished from domestic wind turbines

Commercial wind turbines

These turbines have a tower between 80 and 100 meters high and 3 blades forming a rotor up to 90 meters in

diameter Each turbine has a generating capacity of between 1 and 3 Megawatts (MW) Large-scale turbines are

generally installed in groups forming a wind farm that feeds electricity into the main power grid Wind Turbines of 5

MW in production on experimental basis can reach more than 100 meters high

Domestic wind turbines

Domestic wind turbines are generally 8 to 12 meters high They have between 2 and 5 blades forming a rotor less

than 4 meters in diameter and generate a few kilowatts (kW) of power Domestic wind turbines give farms and

homes located off the main power grid an independent source of energy that can be used to meet some of their

heating needs or to power small electrical devices This is known as self-generation The capacity of each system is

limited to 50 kW and the rules governing the location height and set-back distances of self-generation systems are

set by the local municipality or regional county municipality

2 WIND ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD

According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) the world market for wind turbines set a new record in the

year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt (GW) after 376 GW in 2010 In 2012 WWEA also published

preleminary data presenting that the total capacity worldwide has come close to 239 GW which means enough to

cover 3 of the worldrsquos electricity demand

In 2011 China kept its strong position in the market coming to a total capacity of 63 GW which represents more than

one fourth of the global wind capacity The United States is the second largest producer of wind energy with a total

capacity of 47 GW Germany comes in third position with 30 GW

Among the largest producers India and Canada have been increasing strongly with new installation of wind turbines in

2011 France and Spain are also large producers

There are also many countries with high growth rates from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe such as Greece Turkey

Poland Romania and Ukraine

3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS

WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC

Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind

resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a

great position to maximize its wind energy potential

Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an

efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since

hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain

conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs

Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively

involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly

renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through

purchases from independent power producers

Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy

portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply

Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states

Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance

the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open

new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge

The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine

Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec

A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC

Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has

increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to

produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land

Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy

Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth

over the long term

CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic

components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are

complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is

working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with

manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives

- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information

to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry

- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that

want to come to Quebec

- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC

The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm

located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on

two different sites

In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and

to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to

supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie

region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one

manufacturer was selected

In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing

economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several

wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two

significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited

to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less

In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in

2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025

These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This

objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export

potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment

In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production

the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality

the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality

the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality

Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production

However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding

process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie

The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the

American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie

and Matane employing people from these regions

There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from

France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector

On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec

Contributes to the creation of new economical activities

Consolidates existing jobs

Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development

Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception

funding construction and management of wind farms

Encourages research and development investments

For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la

Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and

its regions such as

Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec

13

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms

More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation

Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region

Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14

billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions

Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low

growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order

to encourage

Development of new interconnections and new export markets

Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in

heating buildings and in industrial processes

4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING

In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune

(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro

Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003

As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the

development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for

economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment

In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a

project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms

IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS

A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of

intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project

the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State

identified therein

The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be

granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met

The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the

MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage

httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml

IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS

Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities

concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land

Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before

installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the

tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and

related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed

Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the

local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that

the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other

local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in

Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

20

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

1 INTRODUCTION

Wind energy has been used for thousands of years when the ancient Egyptians started to use wind to sail the Nile or

when the ancient Persians created the first windmills to grind grain and pump water

In North America windmills were first used to generate electricity in the 1800s and continued to do so up until the

1930s when the extension of the electric power grid to rural areas brought the decline of demand for electricity

generated on-site

In Canada wind is abundant and free The vast landscape the three windy coastlines the plains and mountains all

contribute to this bountiful resource Today scientists have just begun to tap into Canadarsquos potential wind resource

which currently powers the equivalent of 315000 Canadian homes In the future Canada is hoping to produce even

more Like Denmark Canada holds enough wind resources to cover 20 of the countryrsquos electricity demands which

represents enough electricity to power 17 million homes

Today in an era where climate change must be addressed and where industrialized companies are increasingly

turning to renewable energy in order to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions the continued evolution of wind

turbine technology makes wind energy a key energy supplier for the future Indeed wind energy is generating clean

electricity new jobs and economic development opportunities in communities across Canada While wind energy has

enjoyed growing success in many countries for several decades it is a relatively new contributor to the power system

here in Canada

THE CAPTURING SYSTEM OF THE WIND

Todayrsquos wind turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind and weather conditions The turbines work is simple The

blades spin and convert wind into electricity Wind turbines are built on towers that may measure a hundred meters

high so that the blades of the turbine are free of obstacles and may profit from a higher and more constant wind

speed

The blades turn in the wind and create mechanical power This power is then used to turn a generator and produce

electricity Cables carry this electrical current to transmission lines that then carry it to homes and businesses

Turbines are built to adapt to all kinds of wind conditions Generally the blades begin to turn when the wind reaches

13 kmh and shut off when the wind is too strong ndash 90 kmh and above The blades rotate to face the wind allowing

optimal wind harnessing from nearly any direction Turbines can ldquounwindrdquo to prevent internal cables from becoming

twisted

There are two types of wind turbines

Vertical axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is at right angles to the ground

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Horizontal axis wind turbines in which the rotational axis is parallel to the ground and in line with the

horizon These turbines are the ones most commonly used today

Vertical axis wind turbine Horizontal axis wind turbine

Source Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la faune

Wind turbines require

a minimum wind speed generally 12 to 14 kmh to begin to turn and produce low-level power

strong winds from 50 to 60 kmh to generate power at full capacity

winds below 90 kmh over this speed generation ceases to prevent equipment failure

Large-scale or commercial wind turbines must be distinguished from domestic wind turbines

Commercial wind turbines

These turbines have a tower between 80 and 100 meters high and 3 blades forming a rotor up to 90 meters in

diameter Each turbine has a generating capacity of between 1 and 3 Megawatts (MW) Large-scale turbines are

generally installed in groups forming a wind farm that feeds electricity into the main power grid Wind Turbines of 5

MW in production on experimental basis can reach more than 100 meters high

Domestic wind turbines

Domestic wind turbines are generally 8 to 12 meters high They have between 2 and 5 blades forming a rotor less

than 4 meters in diameter and generate a few kilowatts (kW) of power Domestic wind turbines give farms and

homes located off the main power grid an independent source of energy that can be used to meet some of their

heating needs or to power small electrical devices This is known as self-generation The capacity of each system is

limited to 50 kW and the rules governing the location height and set-back distances of self-generation systems are

set by the local municipality or regional county municipality

2 WIND ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD

According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) the world market for wind turbines set a new record in the

year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt (GW) after 376 GW in 2010 In 2012 WWEA also published

preleminary data presenting that the total capacity worldwide has come close to 239 GW which means enough to

cover 3 of the worldrsquos electricity demand

In 2011 China kept its strong position in the market coming to a total capacity of 63 GW which represents more than

one fourth of the global wind capacity The United States is the second largest producer of wind energy with a total

capacity of 47 GW Germany comes in third position with 30 GW

Among the largest producers India and Canada have been increasing strongly with new installation of wind turbines in

2011 France and Spain are also large producers

There are also many countries with high growth rates from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe such as Greece Turkey

Poland Romania and Ukraine

3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS

WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC

Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind

resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a

great position to maximize its wind energy potential

Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an

efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since

hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain

conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs

Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively

involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly

renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through

purchases from independent power producers

Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy

portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply

Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states

Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance

the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open

new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge

The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine

Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec

A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC

Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has

increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to

produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land

Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy

Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth

over the long term

CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic

components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are

complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is

working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with

manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives

- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information

to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry

- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that

want to come to Quebec

- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC

The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm

located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on

two different sites

In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and

to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to

supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie

region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one

manufacturer was selected

In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing

economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several

wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two

significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited

to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less

In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in

2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025

These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This

objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export

potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment

In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production

the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality

the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality

the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality

Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production

However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector

On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec

Contributes to the creation of new economical activities

Consolidates existing jobs

Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development

Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception

funding construction and management of wind farms

Encourages research and development investments

For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la

Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and

its regions such as

Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec

13

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms

More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation

Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region

Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14

billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions

Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low

growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order

to encourage

Development of new interconnections and new export markets

Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in

heating buildings and in industrial processes

4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING

In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune

(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro

Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003

As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the

development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for

economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment

In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a

project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms

IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS

A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of

intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project

the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State

identified therein

The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be

granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met

The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the

MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage

httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml

IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS

Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities

concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land

Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before

installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the

tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and

related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed

Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the

local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that

the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other

local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in

Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

20

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

Wind turbines require

a minimum wind speed generally 12 to 14 kmh to begin to turn and produce low-level power

strong winds from 50 to 60 kmh to generate power at full capacity

winds below 90 kmh over this speed generation ceases to prevent equipment failure

Large-scale or commercial wind turbines must be distinguished from domestic wind turbines

Commercial wind turbines

These turbines have a tower between 80 and 100 meters high and 3 blades forming a rotor up to 90 meters in

diameter Each turbine has a generating capacity of between 1 and 3 Megawatts (MW) Large-scale turbines are

generally installed in groups forming a wind farm that feeds electricity into the main power grid Wind Turbines of 5

MW in production on experimental basis can reach more than 100 meters high

Domestic wind turbines

Domestic wind turbines are generally 8 to 12 meters high They have between 2 and 5 blades forming a rotor less

than 4 meters in diameter and generate a few kilowatts (kW) of power Domestic wind turbines give farms and

homes located off the main power grid an independent source of energy that can be used to meet some of their

heating needs or to power small electrical devices This is known as self-generation The capacity of each system is

limited to 50 kW and the rules governing the location height and set-back distances of self-generation systems are

set by the local municipality or regional county municipality

2 WIND ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD

According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) the world market for wind turbines set a new record in the

year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt (GW) after 376 GW in 2010 In 2012 WWEA also published

preleminary data presenting that the total capacity worldwide has come close to 239 GW which means enough to

cover 3 of the worldrsquos electricity demand

In 2011 China kept its strong position in the market coming to a total capacity of 63 GW which represents more than

one fourth of the global wind capacity The United States is the second largest producer of wind energy with a total

capacity of 47 GW Germany comes in third position with 30 GW

Among the largest producers India and Canada have been increasing strongly with new installation of wind turbines in

2011 France and Spain are also large producers

There are also many countries with high growth rates from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe such as Greece Turkey

Poland Romania and Ukraine

3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS

WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC

Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind

resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a

great position to maximize its wind energy potential

Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an

efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since

hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain

conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs

Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively

involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly

renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through

purchases from independent power producers

Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy

portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply

Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states

Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance

the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open

new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge

The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine

Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec

A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC

Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has

increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to

produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land

Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy

Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth

over the long term

CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic

components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are

complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is

working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with

manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives

- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information

to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry

- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that

want to come to Quebec

- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC

The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm

located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on

two different sites

In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and

to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to

supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie

region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one

manufacturer was selected

In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing

economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several

wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two

significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited

to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less

In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in

2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025

These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This

objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export

potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment

In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production

the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality

the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality

the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality

Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production

However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding

process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie

The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the

American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie

and Matane employing people from these regions

There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from

France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector

On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec

Contributes to the creation of new economical activities

Consolidates existing jobs

Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development

Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception

funding construction and management of wind farms

Encourages research and development investments

For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la

Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and

its regions such as

Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec

13

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms

More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation

Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region

Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14

billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions

Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low

growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order

to encourage

Development of new interconnections and new export markets

Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in

heating buildings and in industrial processes

4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING

In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune

(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro

Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003

As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the

development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for

economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment

In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a

project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms

IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS

A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of

intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project

the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State

identified therein

The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be

granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met

The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the

MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage

httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml

IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS

Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities

concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land

Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before

installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the

tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and

related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed

Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the

local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that

the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other

local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in

Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

20

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

2 WIND ENERGY PRODUCTION IN THE WORLD

According to the World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) the world market for wind turbines set a new record in the

year 2011 and reached a total size of 42 Gigawatt (GW) after 376 GW in 2010 In 2012 WWEA also published

preleminary data presenting that the total capacity worldwide has come close to 239 GW which means enough to

cover 3 of the worldrsquos electricity demand

In 2011 China kept its strong position in the market coming to a total capacity of 63 GW which represents more than

one fourth of the global wind capacity The United States is the second largest producer of wind energy with a total

capacity of 47 GW Germany comes in third position with 30 GW

Among the largest producers India and Canada have been increasing strongly with new installation of wind turbines in

2011 France and Spain are also large producers

There are also many countries with high growth rates from Eastern and South-Eastern Europe such as Greece Turkey

Poland Romania and Ukraine

3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS

WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC

Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind

resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a

great position to maximize its wind energy potential

Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an

efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since

hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain

conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs

Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively

involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly

renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through

purchases from independent power producers

Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy

portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply

Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states

Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance

the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open

new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge

The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine

Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec

A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC

Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has

increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to

produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land

Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy

Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth

over the long term

CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic

components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are

complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is

working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with

manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives

- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information

to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry

- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that

want to come to Quebec

- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC

The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm

located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on

two different sites

In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and

to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to

supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie

region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one

manufacturer was selected

In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing

economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several

wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two

significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited

to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less

In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in

2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025

These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This

objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export

potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment

In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production

the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality

the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality

the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality

Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production

However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding

process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie

The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the

American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie

and Matane employing people from these regions

There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from

France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector

On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec

Contributes to the creation of new economical activities

Consolidates existing jobs

Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development

Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception

funding construction and management of wind farms

Encourages research and development investments

For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la

Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and

its regions such as

Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec

13

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms

More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation

Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region

Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14

billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions

Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low

growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order

to encourage

Development of new interconnections and new export markets

Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in

heating buildings and in industrial processes

4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING

In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune

(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro

Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003

As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the

development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for

economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment

In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a

project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms

IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS

A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of

intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project

the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State

identified therein

The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be

granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met

The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the

MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage

httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml

IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS

Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities

concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land

Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before

installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the

tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and

related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed

Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the

local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that

the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other

local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in

Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

20

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

3 WIND ENERGY INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS

WIND ENERGY POTENTIAL IN QUEBEC

Quebec has many assets regarding the generation of wind power With its vast territory a well-distributed wind

resource strong transmission networks and opportunities for energy storage due to its hydro base Quebec is in a

great position to maximize its wind energy potential

Hydroelectricity is an abundant energy that can be coupled with wind generation to provide power needs using an

efficient balanced transmission system Indeed wind energy can be a reliable complement to hydroelectricity since

hydro reservoirs and power stations can compensate for the intermittent nature of wind generation when certain

conditions are respected Also the use of wind turbines can ensure that water levels remain high in reservoirs

Therefore the Government of Quebec in partnership with the energy company Hydro Queacutebec has been actively

involved in the development of the wind energy industry for more than a decade Hydro Queacutebec generates transmits

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly

renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through

purchases from independent power producers

Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy

portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply

Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states

Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance

the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open

new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge

The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine

Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec

A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC

Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has

increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to

produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land

Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy

Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth

over the long term

CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic

components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are

complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is

working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with

manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives

- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information

to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry

- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that

want to come to Quebec

- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC

The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm

located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on

two different sites

In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and

to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to

supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie

region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one

manufacturer was selected

In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing

economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several

wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two

significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited

to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less

In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in

2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025

These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This

objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export

potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment

In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production

the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality

the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality

the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality

Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production

However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding

process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie

The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the

American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie

and Matane employing people from these regions

There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from

France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector

On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec

Contributes to the creation of new economical activities

Consolidates existing jobs

Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development

Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception

funding construction and management of wind farms

Encourages research and development investments

For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la

Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and

its regions such as

Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec

13

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms

More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation

Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region

Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14

billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions

Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low

growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order

to encourage

Development of new interconnections and new export markets

Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in

heating buildings and in industrial processes

4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING

In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune

(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro

Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003

As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the

development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for

economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment

In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a

project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms

IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS

A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of

intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project

the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State

identified therein

The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be

granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met

The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the

MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage

httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml

IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS

Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities

concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land

Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before

installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the

tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and

related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed

Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the

local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that

the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other

local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in

Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

20

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

and distributes electricity and its sole shareholder is the government of Quebec Hydro Queacutebec uses mainly

renewable generating options in particular hydroelectricity and supports the development of wind energy through

purchases from independent power producers

Moreover with the complementarity of wind energy and hydroelectricity Quebec will ensure a diversified energy

portfolio without compromising the security of consumer supply

Regarding export potential wind energy can be exported to neighboring Canadian provinces and American states

Also a portion of the wind energy components produced in Quebec can be exported to other markets For instance

the expertise developed by engineering consultants construction and service companies in this province will open

new markets for exporting Quebec knowledge

The most promising regions for the wind energy in the province of Quebec are Gaspeacutesie-Icircles-de-la-Madeleine

Moyenne and Basse-Cocircte-Nord Bas-Saint-Laurent and Nord-du-Queacutebec

A GROWING INDUSTRY IN QUEBEC

Wind generation technology is progressing rapidly In the space of a few years the capacity of wind turbines has

increased significantly This progression has permitted to reduce electricity production costs and it is now possible to

produce the same amount of electricity using a smaller area of land

Today wind energy development is sound in the economical sector According to CanWea (Canadian Wind Energy

Association) wind energy development for the coming years will ensure this industryrsquos sustainability and its growth

over the long term

CanWea also indicates that since a modern wind turbine has more than 8000 separate parts - from electronic

components to heavy pieces of metal - there is room for the development of new manufacturing activities that are

complementary to the existing capacity In order to maximize this economic activity the government of Quebec is

working on implementing measures to attract interested businesses in becoming involved in the supply chain with

manufacturers in Quebec Therefore Quebec set the following objectives

- To work in partnership with organizations with an economic mandate to insure dissemination of information

to Quebec businesses that want to become involved in this industry

- To encourage Quebec businesses that want to diversify into this activity sector and foreign businesses that

want to come to Quebec

- To facilitate training of qualified labour in the region

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC

The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm

located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on

two different sites

In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and

to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to

supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie

region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one

manufacturer was selected

In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing

economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several

wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two

significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited

to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less

In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in

2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025

These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This

objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export

potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment

In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production

the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality

the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality

the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality

Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production

However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

1 First Nations are the communities of Native-Americans in Canada

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding

process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie

The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the

American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie

and Matane employing people from these regions

There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from

France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector

On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec

Contributes to the creation of new economical activities

Consolidates existing jobs

Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development

Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception

funding construction and management of wind farms

Encourages research and development investments

For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la

Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and

its regions such as

Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec

13

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms

More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation

Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region

Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14

billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions

Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low

growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order

to encourage

Development of new interconnections and new export markets

Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in

heating buildings and in industrial processes

4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING

In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune

(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro

Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003

As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the

development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for

economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment

In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a

project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms

IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS

A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of

intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project

the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State

identified therein

The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be

granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met

The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the

MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage

httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml

IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS

Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities

concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land

Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before

installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the

tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and

related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed

Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the

local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that

the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other

local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in

Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

WIND ENERGY PROJECTS IN QUEBEC

The development of the wind energy industry in Quebec began in 1998 with the Le Nordais project a wind farm

located in the Matane regional county municipality 133 wind turbines with a capacity of 100 MW were installed on

two different sites

In 2003 Hydro Queacutebec began a partnership with the government of Quebec to develop the wind energy potential and

to promote clean and renewable energy in the province Hydro Queacutebec presented the first tender solicitation to

supply wind-generated electricity It targeted the supply of 1000 MW generated by wind turbines in the Gaspeacutesie

region and the Matane regional county municipality 8 wind farms projects were submitted by two bidders and one

manufacturer was selected

In 2006 the Government of Quebec presented in a report its goals to develop the wind energy industry as a growing

economy and its will to become a leader in sustainable development As a consequence of this statement several

wind farms were built and technologies were developed A total capacity of 3000 MW was achieved thanks to two

significant calls for tender by the energy company Hydro Queacutebec Another call for tender for 500 MW has been limited

to First Nations1 projects of 25 MW or less

In order to realize the full economic and environmental benefits of its wind resource the government of Quebec set in

2011 the objective of adding 8000 MW of wind projects at the rate of 800 MW per year between 2016 and 2025

These projects have been set to increase the wind energy proportion of Quebecrsquos overall energy portfolio to 20 This

objective would encourage the sustainability and growth of the wind energy industry ndash an industry with strong export

potential given the growing need worldwide to develop energy solutions that respect the environment

In 2011 seven wind farms from this 1000 MW tender call were built and have started their production

the Baie-des-Sables wind farm (1095 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Anse-agrave-Valleau wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Carleton wind farm (1095 MW) in the Avignon regional county municipality

the Saint-Ulric wind farm (1275 MW) in the Matane regional county municipality

the Mont-Saint-Louis wind farm (1005 MW) in the La Haute-Mauricie regional county municipality

the Montagne-Segraveche wind farm (585 MW) in the La Cocircte-de-Gaspeacute regional county municipality

the Gros-Morne wind farm (step 1) 1005 MW in the La Haute-Gaspeacutesie regional county municipality

Other contracts have been signed with private promoters under private agreements with Hydro Queacutebec Production

However for future developments in the wind energy sector the Government and Hydro Queacutebec have decided to

1 First Nations are the communities of Native-Americans in Canada

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

proceed with a bid-based process to support the wind energy industry in Quebec Several stages in the bidding

process require approval from the Reacutegie de lrsquoEacutenergie

The three main global turbine manufacturers set up in Quebec are the German groups Enercon and RePower and the

American GE Energy Each of these companies has invested to set up operations in Quebec in particular in Gaspeacutesie

and Matane employing people from these regions

There are also business partnerships with other European companies such as Elecnor from Spain and Erelia from

France which are promoters and developers of wind farms projects in the province

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector

On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec

Contributes to the creation of new economical activities

Consolidates existing jobs

Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development

Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception

funding construction and management of wind farms

Encourages research and development investments

For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la

Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and

its regions such as

Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec

13

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms

More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation

Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region

Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14

billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions

Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low

growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order

to encourage

Development of new interconnections and new export markets

Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in

heating buildings and in industrial processes

4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING

In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune

(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro

Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003

As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the

development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for

economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment

In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a

project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms

IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS

A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of

intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project

the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State

identified therein

The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be

granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met

The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the

MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage

httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml

IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS

Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities

concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land

Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before

installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the

tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and

related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed

Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the

local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that

the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other

local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in

Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

20

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector

On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec

Contributes to the creation of new economical activities

Consolidates existing jobs

Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development

Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception

funding construction and management of wind farms

Encourages research and development investments

For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la

Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and

its regions such as

Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec

13

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms

More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation

Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region

Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14

billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions

Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low

growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order

to encourage

Development of new interconnections and new export markets

Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in

heating buildings and in industrial processes

4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING

In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune

(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro

Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003

As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the

development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for

economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment

In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a

project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms

IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS

A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of

intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project

the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State

identified therein

The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be

granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met

The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the

MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage

httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml

IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS

Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities

concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land

Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before

installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the

tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and

related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed

Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the

local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that

the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other

local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in

Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

20

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector

On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec

Contributes to the creation of new economical activities

Consolidates existing jobs

Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development

Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception

funding construction and management of wind farms

Encourages research and development investments

For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la

Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and

its regions such as

Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec

13

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms

More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation

Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region

Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14

billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions

Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low

growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order

to encourage

Development of new interconnections and new export markets

Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in

heating buildings and in industrial processes

4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING

In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune

(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro

Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003

As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the

development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for

economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment

In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a

project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms

IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS

A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of

intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project

the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State

identified therein

The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be

granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met

The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the

MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage

httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml

IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS

Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities

concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land

Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before

installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the

tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and

related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed

Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the

local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that

the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other

local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in

Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The rapid growth of the wind industry throughout the world gave light to a very dynamic sector

On an economical level the wind energy industry in Quebec

Contributes to the creation of new economical activities

Consolidates existing jobs

Creates new jobs and new companies in the wind energy development

Contributes to the development of expertise and the emergence of Quebec leaders in the conception

funding construction and management of wind farms

Encourages research and development investments

For instance several new projects in the wind energy industry in the region of Matane and Gaspeacutesie-Icircles de la

Madeleine announced by the government of Quebec in 2011 will have significant economic benefits for Quebec and

its regions such as

Investments of C$ 25 billion over 10 years of which more than C$ 15 billion will be spent in Quebec

13

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms

More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation

Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region

Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14

billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions

Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low

growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order

to encourage

Development of new interconnections and new export markets

Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in

heating buildings and in industrial processes

4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING

In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune

(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro

Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003

As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the

development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for

economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment

In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a

project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms

IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS

A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of

intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project

the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State

identified therein

The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be

granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met

The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the

MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage

httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml

IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS

Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities

concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land

Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before

installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the

tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and

related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed

Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the

local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that

the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other

local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in

Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

20

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

More than 9800 jobs will be created during the construction of wind farms

More than 1200 permanent jobs will be created in wind farm maintenance and operation

Approximately 800 manufacturing jobs will be maintained in the region

Contributions made to regional stakeholders (landowners municipalities) will represent more than C$ 14

billion over a period of twenty years encouraging increased economic activity in the regions

Moreover CanWea specifies that to make the most of the addition of these new resources in a period of relatively low

growth in internal electricity demand various measures will be implemented by the government of Quebec in order

to encourage

Development of new interconnections and new export markets

Displacement of petroleum in internal markets such as the transportation of individuals and merchandise in

heating buildings and in industrial processes

4 HYDRO QUEBEC PROCESS OF TENDERING

In its plan to develop the wind energy sector in Quebec the Ministegravere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune

(MRNF) has been managing the commercial wind energy generation and distribution with the collaboration of Hydro

Queacutebec via tender calls since 2003

As more than 92 of Quebecrsquos land mass is publicly owned the main objectives of the MRNF regarding the

development of the wind energy sector are to ensure that installation projects of wind farms will provide gains for

economic social and cultural stakes and will preserve the environment

In its calls for tenders program Hydro Queacutebec recommends tenderers to demonstrate that they have located a

project site and begun the process to acquire the land or secure land use rights for wind farms

IN THE CASE OF PUBLIC LANDS

A letter of intent is required and the tenderers must obtain it by submitting an Application for a letter of

intent regarding use of public land for the construction of wind farms If Hydro Queacutebec approves the project

the successful bidder must then obtain a reserved land area for the lands in the domain of the State

identified therein

The tenderers must also obtain land rights by submitting a Request to use public land Land rights will be

granted if the application is approved and all conditions are met

The guidelines and application forms required for projects on public lands are presented in following links from the

MNRFrsquos website (wwwmrnfgouvqcca)

The Call for tenders procedure by Hydro Queacutebec Distribution is also presented on the following webpage

httpwwwhydroquebeccomdistributionenmarchequebecoisindexhtml

IN THE CASE OF PRIVATE LANDS

Consult private landowners wind farm tenderers must first consult private landowners and local authorities

concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land

Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before

installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the

tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and

related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed

Compliance with local and regional regulations Tenderers must obtain the necessary authorizations from the

local municipality and regional county municipality for any project The municipal authorities will verify that

the construction of a wind farm is compliant with the land use planning the development plan and other

local regulations

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in

Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

concerned when a project involves the construction of a wind farm on their land

Agreements with private landowners the tenderer must reach an agreement with the landowner before

installing wind turbines on private land Together they sign an Option Agreement which guarantees the

tenderer the exclusive use of all or part of the land for the installation of one or more wind turbines and

related facilities In return the landowner receives a payment when the option is signed

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in

Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in

Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

5 THE NORTHERN PLAN PROJECT (PLAN NORD)

The Plan Nord is an economic development strategy launched by the Government of Quebec in May 2011 to develop

its natural resources extraction sector in Northern Quebec (North of the 49th

parallel) The Plan Nord will be carried

out over a period of 25 years It will foster over C$ 80 billion in energy mining and forestry investments during that

time and create or consolidate 20000 jobs per year for the duration

The region of Northern Quebec also represents a great potential for renewable energy In Quebec 71 of Hydro

Queacutebecrsquos installed capacity is located in the area covered by the Plan Nord In the 2006-2015 Quebec Energy Strategy

the government plans to constitute a portfolio of hydroelectric projects totaling 4500 MW almost all located in the

North Tidal power wind energy and dual winddiesel generation are examples of new energy sources that will be

undertaken in these Northern territories

Over the next 25 years the Plan Nord has announced it will add 3500 MW of clean renewable energy to the

governmentrsquos existing energy portfolio of which 3000 MW will come from hydroelectricity 300 MW from wind

power and 200 MW from other sources such as underwater generators In order to achieve its goal the government

of Quebec will invest about C$ 25 billion

The development of hydroelectric and wind power will mainly be aimed at satisfying a specific need for local power

This will have the advantage of reducing energy supply costs in respect of the villages and businesses

Hydro Quebec will be in charge of the management of the wind energy projects coupled with hydro electricity

underwater generators and diesel However regarding underwater generators the CEO of Hydro Quebec Mr Thierry

Vandal has reported that the projects will not be major because of the high costs of this technology

The construction of wind farms will be held in La Romaine complex (in the region of Cocircte-Nord) and in

Kangiqsualujjua (in the region of Nunavic)

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

6 INTERCONNECTIONS IMPORT amp EXPORT MARKETS

In a 2009 study KPMG reported 349 locations for wind energy facilities and activities in Canada The study shows that

38 of Canadian companies are headquartered in Ontario 16 in Alberta and 12 in Quebec A number of these

domestically headquartered organizations also have operations internationally in particular with the United States

being the most popular choice as a country for setting up international operations Most of the multinationals

operating in Canada set up business locations in Ontario Alberta Quebec and British Columbia to conduct business

(KPMG 2012)

The KPMG study also presents numbers on revenue Among 88 companies active in the wind energy industry 72

participated in revenue generating activities in 2009 32 of revenues came from provision of services 29 from

electricity generated into the grid and 21 from product sales The study indicates that these companies relied very

little on the export market as export revenue accounted for only 4 of industry revenue

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

IMPORT AND EXPORT DYNAMICS

KMPG also reported information on import and export dynamics for the wind energy industry in its study of 2009

Among the 88 respondent organizations 37 indicated they imported wind-related components from outside Canada

These organizations imported approximately 72 of their components from outside of Canada and sourced the rest

domestically

19

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Source Canadian Wind Energy Sector Profile 2012 KPMG

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

Organizations that imported components and services from abroad were principally developers who were involved in

the large wind turbine market and manufacturers involved in the small wind turbine market

Components that were most often imported from outside Canada include blades (46 of importers) hardware (43)

generators (43) and brake discs (43) These components were sourced mainly from Germany (50) the United

States (25) and India (7)

Regarding export activities only few organizations exported productservices outside of Canada Organizations that

exported wind-related components outside of Canada relied on these export markets for 27 of their revenue These

organizations tend to be manufacturers that serve the small wind turbine market Product and services that were

most often exported to countries outside of Canada include tower shafts software hardware designs blades bases

and engineering services These components were primarily exported to the United States

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector

ELECTRICITY EXPORTS FROM QUEBEC

Quebec is highly interconnected with its neighbors and currently exports large amounts of electricity each year

CanWea indicates that the total interconnection capacity in 2011 exceeded 8000 MW since the addition of 1250 MW

of capacity with Ontario at the beginning of 2010 By 2014 1200 MW could be added with New England (United

States)

As the Atlantic provinces are highly dependent on non-renewable resources for their electricity supply the renewable

electricity from Quebec represents a very attractive market for these neighboring provinces

In addition the provincial government of New Brunswick has expressed the interest to see renewable energy

production developed for export to the United States This interest represents an opportunity for Quebec to increase

its exports in collaboration with its Maritime partners planning to develop wind energy for export

21

Market study on wind energy in Quebec

CanWea also reports that the adoption by the United States House of Representatives of a bill making it mandatory

for distributors of electric power to increase the proportion of renewable energy in their supply portfolio to 20 will

increase US interest in exports from Quebec Therefore Hydro Queacutebec has announced its intention to expand

electrical sales activities into the United States the Midwest in particular in order to create new business

opportunities for Quebecrsquos renewable electricity sector
