Financing was provided by The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company, Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec and Bayerische Landesbank, and fully amortizes over the term of the project's 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Hydro-Québec. Mont Sainte-Marguerite Wind is located approximately 50 kilometers south of Québec City, in the Chaudière-Appalaches region. "With the close of construction financing we expect swift progress on our first project in Québec and anticipate completing the facility by the end of the year," said Mike Garland, CEO of Pattern Development. "The project is bringing jobs and economic benefits to the Chaudière-Appalaches region. We are using local construction workers from Québec and installing Siemens turbines with locally-sourced turbine components, supporting manufacturers in the province."
