Economic spinoffs

Hydro-Québec attaches great importance to the economic development of host communities. Working with community stakeholders and in keeping with its internal procedures, it strives to maximize the economic spinoffs, which are primarily generated by construction activities.
Hydro-Québec estimates that the Rapide-Blanc generating station refurbishment project will generate over $80 million in regional economic spinoffs, based on the average for comparable projects.
Hydro-Québec estimates that refurbishing Rapide-Blanc generating station will require over 100 workers between 2020 and 2026.
