Ever since it was founded, Boralex has been in the business of generating renewable energy.
Wind Power
Wind power is generated by the speed of the wind.
The wind turns the rotor, which drives a dynamo-electric generator that generates electricity as it turns. The electricity is conducted by wire from the tower to the power grid.
On the ground, the noise created by the wind turbine is about 60 decibels, the same level as an ordinary conversation.
Key features of Boralex's approach to wind power:
- Boralex is still one of the most experienced operators in the wind energy production, field where it has been evolving for more than eight years in France and more recently in Canada.
- Boralex places first and foremost the dialogue and collaboration with the communities which welcome its wind sites.
- Boralex is constantly looking for the optimization of its operations and wind sites.
