Topics

• The demand for electricity goes up every year in Québec. Hydro-Québec has a number of ways of ensuring a secure power supply: building new generating facilities, purchasing electricity from other Québec producers (hydropower or wind power), importing electricity or reducing consumption by promoting energy efficiency.
