In an opinion piece published in the Ideas section of “Le Devoir” website [November 25, 2024], Marc-Urbain Proulx, author-professor of regional economics at the Centre de recherche sur le développement territorial of the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC), emphasizes how renewable energy can act as a lever for regional development.
The construction sites will generate significant investment in the regions. But once the work is done, what’s left for the regions? Organizations like the Société de l’énergie communautaire du Lac-Saint-Jean, in which our partner, the community of Mashteuiatsh, is involved, ensure that the regions get their fair share of the spin-offs that are leveraged.
Onimiki Renewable Energy is committed to this vision. We are convinced that our project can provide the leverage even after construction that will benefit the First Nations and the Témiscamingue region. (traduction : deepl)
