Inspired by best environmental practices, this building will be one of the first in Quebec to be energy-positive, or \u201cnet-positive\u201d: it will generate more electricity annually than it consumes, thanks to solar panels and strategic choices in design and materials. This project reinforces Nergica\u2019s central role in Quebec\u2019s energy transition.<p>The new building, which will actually be an extension of the current Polytechnic Pavilion, will be dedicated to Nergica. \u201cThis project will not only free up space for training programs but also allow us to feed excess energy generated by the new building back into the Gasp\u00e9 campus grid at certain times of the year. Together, we are carrying out a project that aligns with both Nergica\u2019s values and the C\u00e9gep\u2019s commitment to contributing to the region\u2019s ecological transition, as outlined in our strategic plan,\u201d said Yolaine Arseneau, director of the C\u00e9gep de la Gasp\u00e9sie et des \u00celes.<\/p>\n<p>Nergica is committed to creating an innovative work environment that fosters the growth of young talent and staff, and promotes creativity and the emergence of new ideas in the renewable energy sector. \u201cThis new building, a symbol of innovation, will enhance Nergica\u2019s ability to drive innovation in renewable energy. We are deeply grateful to the Government of Quebec for its ongoing support, which enables Nergica, the C\u00e9gep de la Gasp\u00e9sie et des \u00celes, and all of Quebec to take a leadership role in the energy transition we must achieve to limit climate change.\u00a0\u201d explains Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric C\u00f4t\u00e9, CEO of Nergica.<\/p>\n<p>The total cost of the project is estimated at just over $11.9 million. The Ministry of Economy, Innovation, and Energy is contributing $10.7 million, and Nergica is investing $1.2 million. The funds will be used to construct a state-of-the-art building featuring research facilities, workshops, collaborative spaces, and new offices. Construction is scheduled to begin next June and will continue through August 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Nergica<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nergica is an applied research center that drives innovation in renewable energy through research, technical assistance, technology transfer, and support for businesses and communities.
