Innergex and West Moberly First Nations Awarded 251 MW Bessie Wind Project in B.C. Hydro's 2025 Call for Power
Innergex Secures 251 MW BC Project Amidst CEO Transition; Revenue Timeline Remains Distant

Executive Summary
- The most recent release (May 13, 2026) announces the award of the 251 MW Bessie Wind Project in British Columbia via B.C. Hydro's 2025 Call for Power.
- The project is an Indigenous-majority owned partnership with West Moberly First Nations.
- Commissioning is projected for 2032, indicating a long-term development horizon rather than immediate revenue generation.
- Previous news (April 2, 2026) confirms the full commissioning of the La Cense Wind Farm in France (13.2 MW), which includes community bond financing and a 20-year PPA.
- Earlier news (February 17, 2026) details a leadership transition where Jean Trudel succeeds Michel Letellier as President & CEO, with Letellier remaining as an advisor.
Material Impact
- The Bessie Wind Project award is positive for the development pipeline but lacks immediate financial materiality due to the 2032 commissioning date.
- Revenue from this project will not contribute to earnings until well into the future, limiting its impact on current valuation multiples.
- The La Cense commissioning provides incremental revenue visibility (13.2 MW) and demonstrates execution capability in France, but the scale is small relative to a utility-scale portfolio.
- Leadership transition appears stable with an internal CFO promotion, reducing execution risk compared to external hires, though integration remains a watch item.
- Overall, the news validates strategic growth plans without altering near-term cash flow expectations significantly enough to be classified as Material - Positive.
