| The Belleterre Facility is a 2,200 kilowatt hydroelectric
generating facility located on the Winneway River, in the Municipality
of Laforce, Quebec. The facility is located at the point of discharge
of the Winneway River into Lac Simard/Lac des Quinzes. The Belleterre
Facility involved the rehabilitation of a generating station constructed
in the 1930's to supply power to the local mining operations. The
rehabilitation work included replacement of the turbine-generating
equipment, restoration of the site structures, including the penstock
and gates, and the replacement/recommissioning of the electrical
interconnection to the Hydro-Quebec grid. The rehabilitation and
recommissioning was completed and the facility was brought into
commercial service with Hydro Quebec in March, 1993. A power purchase
agreement has been executed with Hydro-Quebec for a term of 25 years.
