Projects and Background

Notable projects include the Bersimis-1 and Bersimis-2 generating stations, built between 1953 and 1959, which served as benchmarks for Hydro-Québec's rapid expansion after its inception. The James Bay project, which began in 1971, was also crucial, featuring installations like LG-3 and LG-4, which altered 19 rivers to achieve a total capacity of 37,370 MW (source: wikipedia.org). Hydro-Québec continues to invest in large-scale hydroelectric infrastructure and transmission upgrades, while maintaining partnerships with industrial giants like Alcan and utilities in the Northeastern United States (source: wikipedia.org). The recent acquisition of Great River Hydro, LLC for $2.2 billion in 2022 has also expanded their footprint in the hydroelectric sector in the United States (source: wikipedia.org).

Recent Developments

In 2022, Hydro-Québec acquired Great River Hydro, LLC, thereby strengthening its presence in the hydroelectric and transmission sector in New England (source: wikipedia.org). In August 2023, Michael Sabia was appointed president, followed by Claudine Bouchard in July 2025, marking a significant change in the company's leadership (source: wikipedia.org). Although no major contracts or mergers have been reported for 2023-2025, the focus has been on innovation and operational continuity (source: news.hydroquebec.com).
