Fondation Rivières estimates that Hydro-Québec will incur annual losses of over 5 M$/year, or 80 M$ (present value) over the 20 years of the contract signed with the developer of the Val-Jalbert hydroelectric project, Société de l'énergie communautaire du Lac-Saint-Jean.
The budgetary forecasts submitted by the Société de l'énergie sociale du Lac Saint-Jean (SECLSJ) and their accounting firm are completely inaccurate with regard to revenue forecasts beyond the first 20 years, denounces the Rivières Foundation.
According to Fondation Rivières, the report released on July 13 by the Bureau d'audiences publiques sur l'environnement (BAPE) following public hearings on the project to build a hydroelectric power station on the heritage site of the historic Village of Val-Jalbert in no way reflects the opinions of citizens or answers their questions.
