Kruger Energy has begun construction on the 196MW Saint-Paul-de-Montminy (SPDM) wind farm in Canada, with operations due to launch by December 2027.

The site spans the Quebec municipalities of Saint-Paul-de-Montminy, Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire and Sainte-Apolline-de-Patton, with investment exceeding C$580m ($422.8m).

The wind farm will feature 28 turbines and has secured a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Hydro-Québec, finalised in April 2024. More than 300 jobs are expected to be created during the construction stage.

Once completed, the project will produce enough electricity to supply approximately 39,000 homes.

The construction follows authorisation by the Government of Quebec, as announced in February 2026 by Kruger Energy and its partners, the Alliance de l’énergie de l’Est and Potentia Renewables.

The wind farm will supply electricity to Quebec and support the province's efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

Preparatory activities taking place include site clearing, construction zone demarcation, and initial work on both the collector system and transmission lines.

With SPDM entering the construction phase, Kruger Energy’s cumulative investments in Canadian wind energy projects have reached C$1.5bn since 2008.

The company also operates other wind facilities such as the Montérégie Wind Farm, which began operations in 2012 with 101.2MW of capacity, and the Des Cultures Wind Farm, a 24MW facility that has been operational since 2022, developed with the Mohawk community of Kahnawà:ke.

Kruger Energy manages two additional wind farms in Ontario that began operations between 2008 and 2011, providing total capacity exceeding 200MW. These sites supply renewable electricity and have an economic impact on the local areas where they are located.
