AIEQ announces 3 new recipients of PASQÉ financial assistance and STIQ diagnostics

July 19, 2023 - The AIEQ is proud to announce that Groupe Lar, Primax and Delstar Énergie are now among the PASQÉ (Plateforme d'approvisionnement stratégique québécois en électricité) recipients. They will benefit from financing of up to $375,000, representing 60% of the total eligible costs of their respective projects, and from a STIQ industrial diagnostic.

The signing of these three new improvement projects brings to a close the first PASQÉ call for interest launched on October 27, 2022, and will enable signatory companies to position themselves favorably as suppliers to major Quebec contractors. In all, 28 companies submitted 35 improvement projects, 8 of which were selected for financial assistance. PASQÉ's objective is to increase the competitiveness of Quebec suppliers to the electrical industry, in order to ensure the long-term viability of the supply chain and promote economic spin-offs for Quebec, in particular by replacing imports with local purchases.

PASQÉ is made possible by a $5 million grant from the Ministère de l'Économie, de l'Innovation et de l'Énergie du Québec [MEIE], as well as the support and participation ofInvestissement Québec and Hydro-Québec.

If you would like to be informed when the 2nd call for interest is issued,
