According to Richard Grenier, Hydro Quebec’s Commercialization Manager, the installation conforms to all of their safety and technical specifications and may now begin production of electricity in parallel with Hydro-Quebec.  Steps are now underway to allow the Ecocentre to receive credit for the excess energy produced by the 1kW wind turbine and 1.5 kWp solar array.
