Centrale de cogénération d’Opitciwan Biomass Cogeneration Plant

planned

The project involves the construction and operation of a 4.8-megawatt biomass cogeneration plant in the remote Atikamekw of Opitciwan First Nation community in Northern Quebec. The facility will generate electricity by burning bark, sawdust, and woodchips from an adjacent sawmill, and steam from the plant will power a new wood kiln at the sawmill. The project aims to reduce diesel use, cut emissions, create jobs, and improve energy stability for the community.
