MMBC’s Plans and Projects

Mi’gmawei Mawiomi Business Corporation (MMBC) has been working hard on many projects to bring economic growth and new opportunities to our people. Here’s what we’ve been up to
and what’s coming next.

Clean Energy with Wind Power
One of our biggest projects is the Mesgi’g Ugju’s’n 2 (MU2) wind farm. This project, an extension of the original 150 MW Mesgi’g Ugju’s’n (MU) wind farm commissioned in 2016, is all about using wind to create clean energy. Partnering with Innergex Renewable Energy Inc., the MU2 project will generate 102 MW of power. This project will help the environment and bring jobs and economic benefits to our community. The best part? We have a 30-year agreement with Hydro-Québec, signed in May 2023, to buy this power, ensuring steady income for many years.

Growing in Wind Farm Maintenance with East Coast Wind
We’re also growing in the wind energy sector through our partnership with East Coast Wind Inc. MMBC now owns a majority stake in East Coast Wind, specializing in wind farm maintenance and repairs. Established in June 2023, this partnership means more jobs and economic growth for our community. We’re excited about the opportunities this brings and how it aligns with our commitment to sustainable energy.

Moving into Information Technology
We are also stepping into the tech world! MMBC has joined forces with PLC Info Inc. to provide IT services. This new partnership, launched in April 2023, will help us expand into the IT market, create jobs, and develop tech skills within our community. The new company, PLC Info Limited Partnership, will serve clients in the Atlantic provinces and beyond, offering a wide range of IT solutions.

Supporting Our Community and Culture
At MMBC, we believe in supporting our community in every way possible. Our projects are designed to bring economic benefits while respecting our Mi’gmaq traditions and values. We aim to balance making money with looking after our social, environmental, and cultural well-being. It’s all about making sure our growth helps everyone in the community.

Exciting New Projects Ahead
Looking to the future, we have some new projects in the pipeline. While we can’t share all the details yet, we can say that these projects will bring even more opportunities and growth to our community. Stay tuned for more updates!
