Harnessing the Wind: MMBC's Green Energy Journey

Imagine turning the breeze into power and the power into progress. That's exactly what's happening in Gespe’gewa’gi. MMBC is stepping up big time, pushing forward renewable energy projects that promote clean power and a bright future for our Mi’gmaq communities.

Powering Up with Hydro-Québec:

First off, MMBC shook hands on a huge deal with Hydro-Québec. They agreed on a 30-year Power Purchase Agreement. This isn't just any deal; it's a big win for renewable energy and for the people. MMBC will be supplying Hydro-Québec with energy that comes straight from the wind. It's a move that shows how MMBC is leading the way in making renewable energy a big deal in the region and ensuring the Mi’gmaq communities are right at the heart of it.

Joining Forces with Innergex:

Then, there's the team-up with Innergex. Innergex knows a thing or two about renewable energy, and together with MMBC, they're working on a wind project that's set to make waves. This project isn't just about creating energy; it's about opening doors—jobs for the community, new skills, and a whole lot of economic growth.

‍Going Green for the Future:

By focusing on renewable energy, MMBC is doing something awesome for the planet. Wind power is clean, which means less pollution and a healthier world. This project fits with what the Mi’gmaq have always believed: taking care of the Earth is a big deal.

Boosting the Local Economy:

But it's not just about the environment. These energy projects also aim to boost the economy in Gespe’gewa’gi. The deal with Hydro-Québec and the project with Innergex mean more money and jobs for the Mi’gmaq people. They aim to ensure that the community can stand on its own two feet financially for a long time to come.

What This All Means:

MMBC's push into renewable energy is a game-changer. It's showing the world that the Mi’gmaq communities are all in on renewable energy. These projects are helping to clean up the environment, yes, but they're also paving the way for economic independence in Gespe’gewa’gi. It's a win-win that's all about making sure the future is bright and green for everyone.

As MMBC moves forward with these projects, it is not just talking about change but making it happen. This is something worth getting excited about, especially if you care about the planet and the prosperity of our Mi’gmaq communities.
