    HQ has a capacity of 36 GW on hydro and thermal alone. When closed, Gentily-2 had a capacity around 675 MW. A drop in the portfolio. The cost of refurbishment was very high, so it was closed.

    My assumption is that Gentily-2 is being considered for export sales only; because I don’t then the capitalisation on a plant could be done at heritage (HQ domestic consumer) rates.

    Edit: such to say, I think this will have little impact on Quebec’s energy portfolio, but may help her export clients (Ontario, NE USA, Atlantic Canada) go greener. I’m not familiar with their portfolios.
