120/25-kV Bonsecours Substation and 120-kV Supply Line
Study area
    The study area covers 143 km2 and includes five municipalities in the MRC
    of Val-Saint-François—Valcourt, Canton de Valcourt, Lawrenceville, Bonsecours
    and Sainte-Anne-de-la-Rochelle—as well as Stukely-Sud and Eastman,
    two municipalities in the MRC of Memphrémagog.

    The study area was selected to encompass all the elements from the
    biophysical environment, human environment and landscape that are
    likely to be affected by the project.

    Technical and environmental studies
    In the coming months, Hydro-Québec will conduct technical studies and
    detailed environmental inventories to identify the project’s characteristics
    and obtain an in-depth understanding of the host environment.

    Once these studies are completed, the project team will be able to identify
    potential substation locations and route variants that will be presented
    to the public. These locations and routes will be subject to comparative
    analyses based on environmental, technical and economic criteria. From
    the beginning, and at every step of these studies, Hydro-Québec will take
    the community’s concerns into account to determine the line route and
    location with the least impact.
