Hydro-Québec has initiated the installation of six wind measurement masts in the Charlevoix-Est region, marking an important step in determining the area's wind energy potential. The project commenced in mid-September 2023, with a planned completion by the end of 2026. The establishment of these masts is part of a broader effort to evaluate renewable energy resources in Quebec.

However, the installation process faced temporary interruptions due to hunting activities in the area, specifically from October 10 to 25. This pause reflects ongoing considerations for local environmental and community practices as Hydro-Québec proceeds with its renewable energy initiatives. The assessment of wind potential is crucial for future investments and development of wind energy infrastructure in the region, which is aligned with provincial goals for increasing renewable energy sources.
