FabDelta, a division of New Richmond-based Fabrication Delta, will undertake a project valued at $6.4M. Ottawa and Québec City are contributing a total of $3M. Amongst other things, the project calls for the expansion of an industrial building and the purchase of specialized equipment to construct 46 wind turbine hubs. These components will be manufactured for Ontario-based Siemens Wind Power. The project is expected to create 15 jobs. The wind turbines are for the future Mont Sainte-Marguerite Wind Farm near Québec City.

Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard was recently on a trade mission to Cuba, where he met with several local social and economic stakeholders. In one of the many photos published on the Premier's newswire, if you look closely enough, you can see a familiar face – that of the director of the ACCORD Wind Energy Cluster. Indeed, Dave Lavoie was there to network, get a sense of the island's energy needs and promote future wind projects for which businesses located in the Gaspé Peninsula could benefit. In fact, Cuba has been in the crosshairs since January 2015 and several exchanges have taken place since then.
