Jean Roy joined Kruger in 2004 when Kruger Energy was created. This division specializes in the development of renewable energy projects in several sectors, including hydroelectricity, biomass, wind energy, solar power and biogas. Appointed Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer in 2009, Jean Roy immediately began contributing to the rapid expansion of Kruger Energy, which soon became a leader in its field in Canada, particularly through the development of large-scale projects and strategic acquisitions in Canada and the United States. Under his leadership, the company established two large wind farms in Ontario totaling 200.6 MW and one 100 MW wind farm in Montérégie (Québec), in addition to acquiring more than twenty hydroelectric power plants in the United States. Kruger and Kruger Energy’s combined portfolio now consists of 35 renewable energy production sites. Jean Roy’s leadership and flair have enabled him to form a solid team, which now comprises 85 people whose expertise and professionalism are recognized throughout the industry. Furthermore, the Kruger Energy team’s commitment to transparency and collaboration with stakeholders has made it a true model of social acceptability, which translates into outstanding support and endorsement for its projects within the communities. Before joining Kruger, Jean Roy had headed the first biomass cogeneration plant in Northern Quebec. He also acted as general manager of Boralex’s Thermal Division, where he played an active role in project development and operations management. In this capacity, he helped the company expand from one operating plant to a portfolio of eight power plants totalling 250 MW over a five-year period.
