The company focuses on the development, construction, acquisition and operation of onshore wind farms, solar power facilities, small-scale hydroelectric stations and energy storage projects.

Since its founding in 1990 in Kingsey Falls, Quebec, Boralex has expanded its footprint beyond North America into Europe and the United Kingdom. Early growth was driven by wind power in Quebec, followed by entry into the French market in the early 2000s. Subsequent expansion included development projects across the United States and, more recently, investments in the UK where the company has pursued offshore wind and battery storage opportunities.
Boralex’s core business model emphasizes long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with utilities, municipalities and corporate customers, ensuring stable revenue streams over project lifecycles. Its portfolio spans greenfield development through to asset acquisition and operational management. The company also explores hybrid solutions that integrate solar, wind and storage to maximize grid reliability and renewable penetration.
Headquartered in Kingsey Falls, Boralex is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Patrick Lemaire and a senior management team with deep experience in renewable energy and infrastructure finance. Under their leadership, the company continues to pursue strategic growth, emphasizing environmental performance, community engagement and alignment with global clean-energy transition goals.
