Name of the Project
Isle-Maligne hydroelectric power plant modernisation.

Location
Alma, Quebec, Canada.

Project Owner/s
Global mining company Rio Tinto.

Project Description
The modernisation project is Rio Tinto’s biggest single investment in its hydroelectric assets since the 1950s.

The project includes the replacement of eight turbine-alternator groups, rehabilitating their water intake and hydraulic passage, the construction of an extension and mechanical workshop to the north of the power station, the replacement of electrical and mechanical equipment, and the modification of a spillway so that it can be used reliably 
in winter.

The investment of more than C$1-billion is in addition to previously announced projects worth a combined C$252-million for the refurbishment of butterfly valves and work on two other turbine-alternator groups at the Isle-Maligne power plant.

Potential Job Creation
More than 300 people are expected to be working on site at its peak.

Capital Expenditure
C$1.7-billion.

Planned Start/End Date
The project will run until 2032.

Latest Developments
None stated.

Key Contracts, Suppliers and Consultants
Not disclosed.
