James Bay Energy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Bay Energy Corporation (in French Société d'energie de la Baie James) was founded as a consortium of three companies, Hydro-Québec, SNC-Lavalin, and Bechtel, to build a series of hydroelectric dams in northern Quebec during the 1970s and early 1980s. Upon completion, the dams all came under the control of Hydro Québec.

The James Bay project was instigated by former Premier of Québec Robert Bourassa.

The system is now known as the La Grande basin.
