Learn about our achievements!
Thanks to hydropower, Hydro-Québec is a leader in the fight against climate change. In addition to protecting the environment, the company aims to ensure its economic viability and contribute to the province’s economic vitality.
The ingredients of our sustainability approach:
Decisions are made every day. We want these to reflect the expectations of all stakeholders, so that everyone can relate to our choices for the future.
Our job: provide all of Québec with power, and do it sustainably. We generate 98% of our electricity from water, a renewable energy source. What’s more, hydropower has very low greenhouse gas emissions. Not to mention the emissions avoided thanks to our exports: the equivalent of eliminating almost all cars and light trucks from Québec roads.
Every year, we systematically invest $100 million in R&D. Our research institute is unique in North America.
Now more than ever, there are many reasons to be proud of Québec hydropower, our energy for the future. See the facts.
