The community is about 370 kilometres northwest of Quebec City in the Lac-Saint-Jean region
The Montreal-based company says the decision follows approval of electricity sales from its Mistassini cogeneration plant to Hydro-Quebec, the provincial power grid.
The forest product company formerly known as AbitibiBowater says the restart represents an investment of $20 million.
