About Nuvéo
Previously known as the Créneau d’excellence éolien (founded in 2007), Nuvéo is one of Québec’s clusters of excellence. It brings together a range of companies engaged in interrelated economic activities in the development of renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources such as wind, solar, small hydro and energy storage.
Nuvéo is located in the administrative region of Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine. This is where the wind energy industry began, featuring wind farms, manufacturers, service providers, organizations, and educational institutions—all dedicated to the development of this sector. Through its activities, the cluster strengthens the industrial ecosystem by implementing collaborative projects.
Mission
Contributing to the acceleration of the energy transition through new partnerships and structuring projects.
Vision
To be recognized as a facilitating and enterprising organization at the heart of the broad network of stakeholders in the renewable energy industry.
Sustainable development
We believe that renewable energy helps make the world a better place, in addition to enabling Gaspésie-Îles-de-la-Madeleine and the whole of Québec to contribute to decarbonisation of the economy.
Industry Overview
By 2025, Quebec will have more than 40 wind farms with an installed capacity of 3,932 MW. By 2029, an additional 4,113 MW is expected to be added to Quebec’s energy mix.
In addition, Hydro-Québec is focusing on launching large-scale projects totaling 11,000 MW of wind power.
Overall, investments totaling more than 45 billion dollars will be needed to add the expected 15,113 MW.
Independent wind power producers generate $977 million in direct and indirect value added and support 1,148 jobs, including 262 direct jobs.
In 2025, Hydro-Québec issued a call for bids for a 300-MW solar farm as part of its goal to add 3,000 MW of solar power by 2035. Generating 50 MW of solar power could create $8.7 million in added value and support 11 jobs.
