Improving the reliability of Obedjiwan's stand-alone power grid by adding the equipment and infrastructure needed to integrate renewable energy from the future forest biomass power plant.

The project involves integrating a new renewable energy source from the 4.8 MW forest biomass power plant. In Order to do so, Hydro-Québec must build a new sectioning post and a control building, as well as a new access road, in addition to extending the distribution lines to the new facilities and converting the network voltage from 4.8 MW to 25 kV.
