LONGUEUIL, Quebec, December 9, 2024 – Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. (TSX: INE) (“Innergex” or the “Corporation”) is proud to announce that three of its wind projects, co-developed with Indigenous partners, have been selected in BC Hydro's most recent Request for Proposals (RFP) for new renewable energy generation. Representing a combined gross capacity of 560 MW, this achievement highlights Innergex's leadership in Canada and in British Columbia, and its expertise in developing renewable energy projects in partnership with Indigenous communities that bring significant economic and environmental benefits to local communities.

“We are proud that all three of our projects selected in BC Hydro’s RFP are built on strong partnerships with Indigenous communities, and we are looking forward to collaborating closely with BC Hydro and our partners to bring these projects to fruition,” said Michel Letellier, President and Chief Executive Officer of Innergex. “Together with our partners, we aim to create projects that not only generate clean energy, but also provide lasting and meaningful benefits to Indigenous communities. This milestone underscores the strength of our development portfolio, our commitment to delivering competitive renewable energy projects, and our dedication to advancing British Columbia’s energy transition. Expanding our Canadian wind portfolio through these projects adds incremental diversification benefits and demonstrates our commitment to disciplined growth and creating value for all stakeholders.’’

The Selected Projects:

K2 Wind Project: The 160 MW K2 Wind Project is situated in the Central Interior of B.C., 33 km west of Peachland/Westbank. This project is a collaboration between Westbank First Nation (51% equity) and Innergex (49%).

The projects are subject to the execution of contracts with BC Hydro and suppliers, and to the successful completion of permit application processes and regulatory requirements.
