Resolute Purchases Nearby Cogen Facility
Resolute announced an agreement for the purchase of a cogeneration facility in Senneterre, Quebec. The purchase of the 34.5 MW cogeneration facility, adjacent to Resolute’s Senneterre sawmill, builds on its significant investments in the region, including the ongoing project toward a new planer and associated equipment announced last summer, as well as operational improvements recently completed at the company’s Comtois sawmill.
With this cogen facility, Resolute will maximize the use of biomass from regional operations, generating green power and providing a platform for future growth and enhanced competitiveness in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region.
