The project is one of the largest hydroelectric systems in the world. It has cost upwards of US$20 billion to build [citation needed] and has an installed generating capacity of 15.244 GW, at the cost of 7,000 square miles of Cree hunting lands. [1] It has been built since 1974 by James Bay Energy (SDBJ) for Hydro-Québec.
The agreement paved the way for the construction of a final element of the original James Bay Project, the Eastmain-1 power station. The Cree and the Government of Quebec signed an agreement in 2004 providing for the joint environmental assessment of the Rupert River Diversion. The Rupert River Diversion was approved in 2007 and construction began.
The Robert-Bourassa generating station, formerly known as La Grande-2 (LG-2), is a hydroelectric power station on the La Grande River that is part of Hydro-Québec's James Bay Project in Canada. The station can generate 5,616 MW and its 16 units were gradually commissioned between 1979 and 1981. [ 1 ]
The Société d'énergie de la Baie James is the company in charge of building the hydroelectric development known as the James Bay Project in northern Quebec. It was established in December 1971 by the Société de développement de la Baie James (SDBJ), a Crown corporation of the province of Quebec and became a wholly owned subsididiary of Hydro-Québec in 1978.
Much of the electricity generated by Hydro-Québec Generation [7] comes from hydroelectric dams located far from load centres such as Montreal. Of the 33,000 MW of electrical power generated, over 93% of that comes from hydroelectric dams and 85% of that generation capacity comes from three hydroelectric generation centers: James Bay, Manic-Outardes, and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro's ...
The La Grande-4 (LG-4) is a hydroelectric generating station on the La Grande River in Quebec, Canada that is part of Hydro-Québec's James Bay Project. The station can generate 2,779 MW and was commissioned in 1984. [1] [2] [3] It generates electricity through the reservoir and dam system.

The adoption of a Quebec statute on environmental quality in 1972, the cancellation of Champigny Project, a planned pumped storage plant in the Jacques-Cartier River valley in 1973, and the James Bay negotiations leading to the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement in 1975, forced the company to reconsider its practices.
