Mar 25, 2011. /Lesprom Network/. Fibrek‘s mill in Saint-Félicien, Quebec, Canada, will be receiving $6.1 million from the Federal Government under the Pulp and Paper Green Transformation Program, as ForestTalk reported. This funding will allow Fibrek to install five electrical motors that will increase its green energy production capacity by approximately six megawatts. It is expected that this project will also help save enough energy to power over 1,700 homes. “This timely help from the federal government is an incentive toward the completion of a very important project for Fibrek’s cogeneration facilities in Saint-Félicien,” said Pierre Gabriel Côté, President and CEO of Fibrek. “This project will allow us, not only to increase our leadership in the production of green energy, but also to improve our mill’s competitiveness.” Fibrek is one of 24 pulp and paper companies across Canada that qualified for credits under the Pulp and Paper Green Transformation Program. Fibrek has generated a total of $20.9 million in credits.
