Hydromega is a Quebec independent renewable energy producer, active since 1987. We are specialized in the development, construction, financing and operation of independent electric facilities in Quebec and Ontario.
The total hydroelectric production developed and operated by Hydromega exceeds 120 MW. Hydromega has successfully developed 12 hydropower plants with an installed capacity ranging from 2 MW to 40 MW. In Ontario, Hydromega owns and operates five power plants with a total installed capacity of 32 MW, enough electricity for approximately 20,000 homes in Ontario. Our most recent projects in Ontario (Kapuskasing, 2013 and Okikendawt, 2015) were developed in partnership with local First Nations.
In April 2021, Hydromega is proud to announce the acquisition of the Ayers-1 and Ayers-2 generating stations located on the Rivière du Nord in Lachute, Quebec. The two plants, with a combined capacity of 5.9 MW.
Montreal, March 31, 2022 – Hydromega Services inc. (“Hydromega”) and Plant-E Corp. (“Plant-E”), through the company Cogen Biogaz HY, are proud to announce the acquisition of the cogeneration plant Haute-Yamaska located in Ste-Cécile-de-Milton, Quebec. The 2.0 MW plant uses biogas produced by the adjacent landfill to generate electricity.
COCHRANE POWER CORPORATION PROJECT
Cochrane Nordic Clean Power Innovation Center – (CNCPIC)
The CNCPIC will be located on the lands of the Cochrane Generating Station. In March 2018, Hydromega Services inc. (HSI) acquired Cochrane Power Corporation (CPC), owner of the Cochrane Generating Station since 1991, which includes a 27 MW natural gas turbine and a 15 MW steam turbine. The station has been running from 1991 to 1995 but has been idle since 2015 when its power purchase agreement expired. Today, HSI is looking for different alternatives to 1) restart the facility for the production of electricity and 2) redevelop the site by attracting innovative technologies and industrial customers to produce clean power or make use of it.
The two turbines are able to run continuously and supply an industrial customer with clean and reliable power. If one or both turbines need to shut down, it is possible to draw power from the grid thanks to the facility being connected to the provincial grid through a 115 kV transmission line.
The facility is located on a land of 7 acres which is readily available for storage area or for hosting new buildings for customers who need lots of space.
