Wind energy

One of the cleanest sources of energy

Wind energy is one of the cleanest sources of energy in existence. Because it replaces other sources of energy, it contributes in an extraordinary way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Le Nordais is able to eliminate 250 000 of CO2 annually. Furthermore, wind energy is simple to exploit and its production costs are constantly dropping. So many advantages encourage more and more countries to choose wind energy to the detriment of polluting sources of energy.

The energy produced is sold to Hydro-Quebec, a government corporation, according to a 25-year contract. The energy transferred from the windmill park to the public electricity network can supply the equivalent of 10 000 Quebec residences with electricity. In a temperate climate, Le Nordais could satisfy the energy needs of nearly 50 000 homes.

Environmental project by 2012

The Kyoto protocol has been ratified.

How will we live our Kyoto?

Is it possible to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) without changing our modes of production and energy consumption?

Do we believe that what is at stake concerning climatic changes questions each and everyone of us?

Are we convinced that the actions we undertake today will have an impact on future generations?

The different sources of non-polluting energy, particularly wind energy, provide us with comfort and a good quality of life.

Therefore, let’s encourage the instigators of this source of energy.
