This transition comes as the company prepares for its future under the guidance of Deveaux, who brings over 20 years of experience in renewable energy and finance. He succeeds Hugues Girardin, who is set to retire on December 31, 2025, after a distinguished 34-year tenure that has seen Boralex expand significantly.

As he steps into this leadership role, Deveaux emphasizes his commitment to fostering an inclusive environment and driving innovative projects to navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of renewable energy. His strategic thinking and leadership skills are expected to be pivotal as Boralex works towards achieving its long-term sustainability targets.
The transition period will be supported by Girardin, who will assist Deveaux in ensuring a smooth handover of responsibilities. Patrick Decostre, Boralex's President and CEO, commends Girardin for his contributions to the company while expressing confidence in Deveaux's ability to lead Boralex forward. With the renewable energy sector gaining momentum and Boralex at the forefront of this transformation, the company’s new leadership aims to capitalize on emerging opportunities while continuing its commitment to sustainable energy solutions.
In addition to the leadership change, Boralex's ongoing projects reflect the company's dedication to expanding its renewable portfolio. The development of over 8 GW in wind, solar, and storage projects underscores Boralex's strategic commitment to meeting the increasing demand for clean energy. This growth trajectory ensures that Boralex remains a key player in the evolution of the renewable energy landscape in North America.
As the company navigates this leadership transition, Boralex’s future appears bright, with Deveaux poised to lead the charge in delivering innovative energy solutions that align with the company’s vision for a sustainable future.
