ONIMIKI: A COMMUNITY PROJECT OF HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANTS BENFICIAL FOR THE TÉMISCAMINGUE!


The Onimiki Renewable Energy L.P. project is being developed on a 100% community basis. The objective of all partners is to develop a truly promising project that will benefit First Nations and all citizens of the MRC de Témiscamingue.

It is a quality community project that is supported by the First Nations communities of Kebaowek, Wolf Lake and Pekuakamiulnuatsh as well as by the MRC of Témiscamingue.

The Onimiki project would include two hydro plants, Onimiki North (60 MW) and Onimiki South (10 MW). Its construction would create several jobs in the region during construction. A significant proportion of these benefits will be dedicated to local communities.
