Dedication Ceremony at Montérégie wind farm

KRUGER ENERGY DEDICATES NEW WIND FARM IN MONTÉRÉGIE

Montréal, QC, September 11, 2013 – Kruger Energy held a dedication ceremony today at its new wind farm in Montérégie, Québec. The official ceremony was attended by Joseph Kruger II, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Kruger Inc.; Gaétan Lelièvre, Minister for Regions and Minister responsible for the Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine region, several local elected officials and many residents who welcomed the commissioning of this 100-MW wind farm that generated investments of more than $300 million.

“We take great pride in the work we have done in Montérégie. From the very start, relations with the local communities have been based on openness, trust and cooperation and the result is a wind farm that is well integrated into its environment, and a project that brings significant economic benefits to the region,” said Jean Roy, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Kruger Energy. “We are here for the long run and are committed to maintain this close collaboration for the years to come.”

This is Kruger Energy’s first wind farm in Québec, and its third in Canada. The other two are located in the Municipality of Chatham-Kent, Ontario. The Montérégie project consists in 44 wind turbines installed in five Montérégie municipalities, namely Saint-Isidore, Saint-Rémi, Saint-Michel, Saint-Constant and Mercier. The electricity generated – enough to power the equivalent of 10,000 electrically heated homes – will be sold to Hydro-Québec Distribution under a twenty-year contract.
