Innergex

On this day, in 1994, we were commissioning our very first facility, Saint-Paulin, a 8 MW hydro facility in Quebec. That was 26 years ago. Today, we own and operate a large portfolio of 75 facilities over three continents, with a total installed capacity of 3,694 MW. As we celebrate our 30th anniversary this year, we can only look back with great pride and see how far we have come. A trailblazer in the emerging field of renewable energy in 1990, Innergex has since become a respected global player in an industry that is part of the transition to a neutral carbon economy. This transition to a decarbonized economy is within our reach. Thanks to a talented and passionate team, we’ve been working daily, for the past 30 years, to build a better world through renewable energy. Thank you to everyone who has played a role in the Innergex story.

We are very proud once again this year to sponsor the First Nations Book Fair, which begins today. The program includes a host of virtual meetings with authors from here and abroad to share rich and diverse Indigenous cultures with you! To learn more: https://lnkd.in/gaCw4m8
