Financial implications and other risks and opportunities for the organization's activities due to climate change. |
Hydro-Québec uses water to generate 97% of its electricity. A hydroelectric generating station is very low in greenhouse gas emissions, which directly contributes to Québec's excellent record and helps reduce GHG emissions from neighboring markets. This situation could represent positive opportunities for Hydro-Québec should a carbon market be created.
