Description
Summary:Most of Quebec's electricity generation, installed capacity 26,839 MW in January 1992, is from hydroelectric installations. Present development is directed at the James Bay region of Hudson Bay – Phase 1 of the La Grande complex delivers 10,200 MW into the Hydro-Québec system and Phase 2 will add another 3,400 MW. Future development is planned the Grande-Baleine (Great Whale) and the Nottaway-Broadback-Rupert (NBR) complex. This added capacity, planned for the next 10 years will add about 12,000 MW to the system.
