Le bilan de Marie Grégoire à la tête de la #BAnQ n’aura-t-il donc pas seulement été de se coucher devant l’annexion de sa réserve foncière par #HydroQuébec ? En dehors d’une vague rénovation de façade de son site web, l’infrastructure numérique de la BAnQ est toujours croulante. Mais on met des chaises berçantes ! En fait, Marie Grégoire n’aurait-elle pas été nommée à la tête de la BAnQ simplement pour faciliter le travail ? #Montréal lapresse.ca/dialogue/chronique

La Presse · Hydro-Québec condamnée pour « mauvaise foi institutionnelle »Dans un jugement attendu, la Cour du Québec déclare qu’Hydro-Québec a fait preuve de « mauvaise foi institutionnelle » lors de négociations avec une communauté innue, en 2014, en vue de la construction du complexe de la Romaine. Elle condamne la société d’État à lui verser cinq millions de dollars et met fin à l’entente de principe existante, forçant l’établissement de nouvelles compensations financières évaluées à plusieurs dizaines de millions.

#HydroQuébec has been buying the lion's share of power from the facility for less than 0.2 cents, making substantial profits, since 1969, which #Newfoundland said was too little. The cost will now be about six cents/kWh, allowing #NewfoundlandLabrador to significantly increase its revenue up to $1 billion per year until 2041, Premier #AndrewFurey said at a news conference Thursday.

Took a while, but they finally acknowledged the issue on their website (even though the outage has been ongoing since 4pm yesterday).

Hydro Quebec’s app shows the location of the power outage. Apparently there was a fire in the area yesterday. Very possibly the power is being left off intentionally so utilities can be repaired.

« Le projet d'#HydroQuébec d'ajouter 5000 kilomètres de lignes de transport à très haute tension d'ici 2035 préoccupe #AnneCélineGuyon, analyste #climat - #énergie pour #NatureQuébec.

ICYMI - from 2019:

VERIFY: does Gov. #JanetMills' brother have ties to #CMPCorridor project?

NEWS CENTER #Maine verifies #PeterMills' involvement in the CMP corridor.

July 3, 2019

"In the last year, we have been bombarded with questions and concerns surrounding the #CMP transmission line project.

"Most recently, some of those concerns from you at home have shifted to Governor Janet Mills' support behind the project -- more specifically, if her brother, Peter Mills, has any ties to the corridor or if he has anything to gain from it.

"To verify these claims, NEWS CENTER Maine spoke with Peter Mills himself and referenced these public documents -- 'The Memorandum of Understanding between Central Maine Power Company and Western Mountains and Rivers Corporation'.

Here's what we found out.

"Mills does currently sit on the board of a charitable non-profit called Western Mountains and Rivers Corporation, an organization established back in 2017.

"He admits the non-profit has ties to CMP and the corridor project, but he says it's a very specific partnership.

"'The purpose of the corporation was to negotiate with #CentralMainePower and possibly #HydroQuebec to see to it that they would put together terms to mitigate in a public and charitable way, to mitigate for the impact of the power line if it were built.' says Mills. [I've seen this tactic before -- with #MaineTurnpikeAuthority donations to non-profits affected by #highway expansion]

"Public documents detail this agreement between the two entities, which includes CMP's requirement to provide $250,000 dollars to the non-profits trust fund; for start-up costs and other proceedings.

"It has been used to hire an #attorney to represent the interests of the #corporation in the #Legal proceedings before the #PUC and #LERK and the #DEP, and in negotiating for any mitigation terms including the creation of land rights of way in the #KennebecValley." says Mills."

Despite local opposition and a statewide vote, the #CMPCorridor through #Maine's #NorthWoods is getting pushed through! #PeterMills, head of the #MaineTurnpikeAuthority and brother of #JanetMills, is on the board of a corporation involved in the project! Nothing to see here, eh? No wonder MTA has no problem destroying woods, streams and farmland here in southern #Maine!

#CMPCorridor Proposal: A Bad Deal for Maine

"In April 2023, a Cumberland County jury ruled in CMP’s favor during a court case that very likely will decide the future of the company’s controversial transmission corridor. The decision was based on technical legal issues and not on the merits of whether or not this was a good project for Maine.

"We are disappointed with the outcome and remain sharply focused on achieving a just and equitable clean energy future that works for all Mainers.

"Maine has already shown there’s a better path forward than the CMP corridor. A path focused on regional collaboration and centered in Maine’s pragmatic approach to solving problems.

"Mainers are pursuing home-grown clean energy sources, like the #KingPineWindProject in Aroostook County that will deliver new and verifiable reductions in pollution rather than a shell game that shifts existing energy for maximum profit.

"#MaineVoters got it right when they overwhelmingly passed a referendum rejecting the CMP corridor because it’s a bad deal for Maine and a bad deal for our climate.

"#NRCM is honored to stand with youth #ClimateJustice activists, tribes in Maine and Canada, people across western Maine who rely on a vibrant outdoor recreation economy, and many others in opposing the CMP corridor. Thank you to everyone who partnered with us on this hard-fought campaign."

Top 4 Reasons NRCM Opposes the Corridor:

- Won’t reduce climate-changing pollution, and may actually increase it.
- Cuts 53 miles of new transmission lines through undeveloped #forests in Maine’s #NorthWoods, harming brook trout, deer, other #wildlife, and the tourism economy.
- Jeopardizes the construction of new in-state #RenewableEnergy projects and creation of clean energy jobs.
- Generates billions of dollars of profit for CMP and #HydroQuebec while offering very little to Maine people and businesses.
