Nov 9, 2011, Dolbeau, QC - Renewable energy producer Boralex Inc. is closing the door on its troubled Dolbeau, QC, wood-residue plant by permanently shutting the idle facility and taking a financial writeoff.

The 28-megawatt co-generation plant, which has operated
sporadically since 2009, has been indefinitely closed since April,
affecting 30 to 40 workers. According to a report in the Globe & Mail, the closing of AbitibiBowater's adjoining mill disrupted the
supply of wood and sale of steam, forcing the company to look for
alternatives.
