The interruptible electricity option offers you credits in exchange for curtailing your electricity consumption on request. This option was developed to help balance electricity supply and demand in Québec. By limiting your power consumption, you contribute to a wiser use of our collective resources. In return, Hydro-Québec pays you the equivalent of what it spends when it buys power on open markets. Reserved for customers signed up for the option Access to your consumption profile   |
