Hydro-Québec is advancing with its plans to expand and modernize the distribution substation located in La Malbaie, with the completion date set for the fall of 2028. According to the corporation, all phases of the project are maintaining their existing timelines without delays. The expansion is part of a broader initiative by Hydro-Québec to enhance electrical distribution infrastructure across the province and meet increasing demand.
The Commission for the Protection of Agricultural Land (CPTAQ) is currently evaluating Hydro-Québec's request to utilize a segment of agricultural land for the new facilities. This step is crucial as it balances the need for infrastructure development with the preservation of agricultural areas. Hydro-Québec's project represents a significant investment in the region, aiming to improve service reliability for local residents.
As the project moves forward, Hydro-Québec continues to engage with local stakeholders and the public to provide updates and address any concerns regarding the impact of construction on the community and the environment. Stakeholders are particularly interested in how the project will influence local power distribution and whether it will accommodate future growth in the area.
