Boralex Inc. has commissioned the 16-MW Plateau de Savernat wind facility located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region on the communes of Lamaids, Quinssaines and Saint-Martinien in France.

"This is the culmination of 10 years of work, study and discussion among the specialists, local actors and government services," said Patrick Decostre, vice president and general manager of Boralex Europe.

The project will contributed about €2.5 million, or US$3.5 million, in annual run-rate EBITDA, the company said in a Dec. 23 news release. Électricité de France will purchase the output of the facility under a 15-year contract.
