EDF power solutions North America Places Turbine Order with Vestas

SAN DIEGO (June 17, 2025): EDF power solutions North America has placed an order with Vestas to supply 20 EnVentus V162-6.2 MW wind turbines for the Haute-Chaudière wind project in Québec, including a 10-year Active Output Management (AOM) 5000 service agreement. Once operational, Haute-Chaudière will provide clean and secure energy to tens of thousands of Québec homes while supporting local job creation and industrial development. 

“The Haute-Chaudière project is a strong example of what’s possible when experienced partners come together to combine supply chain excellence with world-class technology. We’re proud to partner with EDF power solutions as they continue demonstrating their long-term commitment to deliver wind energy across Québec,” said Laura Beane, President, Vestas North America. “With Hydro-Québec’s goal of adding 10 GW of wind power by 2035, the province has both the sustained volume and the ambition to lead and it’s only through strong partnerships like this, that those goals become a reality.”  

“EDF power solutions and Vestas share a strong, long-standing partnership that spans over two decades and 2.9 GW of wind energy projects across North America,” said Tristan Grimbert, President and CEO at EDF power solutions North America.  “The Haute-Chaudière wind project, one of three projects awarded by Hydro-Québec through its call for tenders, represents our renewed collaboration with Vestas. This strategic contract not only strengthens the relationship between our companies but also paves the way for future opportunities to advance wind energy.”   

As part of a shared commitment to strengthen local manufacturing and job creation, EDF power solutions and Vestas have partnered with Québec-based Marmen as the tower supplier, supporting 130 direct jobs in Trois-Rivières. 

“Marmen is proud to work with two industry leaders to highlight the importance of a Canadian-based supply chain amid strong market signals. We are ready to help mature this market alongside Vestas and EDF power solutions,” said Patrick Pellerin, President, Marmen. 

Delivery of the turbines is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2026, with commissioning scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.  

EDF power solutions has invested over $7 billion in Canada since 2008 through the development and operations of 2.6 GW of wind and solar projects.
