Partnering with Communities
Contributing Financially to Local and Regional Initiatives |
|
 |
Through its Integrated Enhancement Program (IEP), Hydro-Québec contributes financially to initiatives in municipalities affected by its major transmission projects (lines and substations) that are subject to environmental assessment under Québec's Environment Quality Act.
The IEP program reserves 1% of the capitalized cost of future Hydro-Québec facilities for environmental initiatives and regional and Aboriginal development. |
