Winston Hydro Inc., mandated Equinox Construction Services (ECS) to develop a Feasibility Study that would satisfy Hydro-Québec’s requirements. TAs owner of the Saint-Antonin dam, Winston Hydro wanted to refurbish the station and put it back into service with new turbines and generators, new automated water diversion equipment and various other rehabilitation measures.

ECS assessed and reviewed all the factors required to developed the station’s generation capacity through an Energy Model, the Financial Model, the Scheduling and Permitting requirements as well as the proposed Cost of the sold power.

ECS was successful in attracting Hydro-Québec’s attention and assisted the owner with negotiating a Power

Purchase Agreement, specific clauses and an in-service date based on Hydro-Québec’s in-house studies.
