Hydro-Quebec will accept new proposals; extends deadline for agreements
Hydro-Quebec is accepting proposals from developers of renewable energy projects up to 25 MW interested in selling power to the utility. The projects can include hydroelectric sites released for development by Quebec's Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources. Hydro-Quebec said it will accept renewable projects for contract negotiations until June 1, 1993, to a maximum of 200 MW. That revises an earlier announcement to accept for contract talks all renewable energy projects with a total capacity of less than 10 MW, up to a total of 100 MW. Additionally, Hydro-Quebec has extended its deadline for signing contracts with hydroelectric projects responding to a 1991 request for proposals (RFP) from non-utility generators. Projects still must be on line by the end of 1996, as initially stipulated. Hydro-Quebec said delaying the deadline to June 1 should give projects a greater chance of materializing. As the new year began, the utility said it had signed or was conducting negotiations with projects totaling 1,185 MW, all but two responding to its 1991 RFP. Forty-nine hydroelectric projects totalling 225 MW are among projects signed or in negotiations.
