The Fondation Rivières and around twenty signatories ask the government of Quebec to commit to protecting the last major rivers of Quebec by renouncing the construction of new dams and to launch a major public debate on energy.
After their film Chercher le cours, directors Nicolas Boisclair and Alexis De Gheldere as well as our co-founder Roy Dupuis return to the Romaine River, on the North Shore of Quebec, to take stock of the situation.
Press release – Fondation Rivières considers that the preliminary study on the hydroelectric potential of the Petit Mécatina river by Hydro-Québec is unjustified.
We, the undersigned, 110 signatories from various backgrounds, address the president and members of the Committee on the Economy and Energy Transition, to ask them to take the necessary measures to trigger the holding of an investigation with hearings (generic BAPE) on the energy future of Quebec.
Open letter – 80 organizations sign a letter to Prime Minister Legault, to the Minister of the Economy, Innovation and Energy Fitzgibbon, as champions of the energy transition file to request a real societal debate on our energy future.
Victory: Hydro-Québec will close the door to any hydroelectric production project in its next call for tenders. This call for tenders will make it possible to increase electricity production by 4,000 MW or 10 % during the winter peak period and it will come from wind energy only.
