Priority work in target areas in Brossard
Do you live in one of the target areas?
After comparing the performance of the power grid in different neighborhoods, we noticed that homes and businesses in these areas experienced a higher-than-average number of outages in spring and summer 2022.
The six lines that supply these areas are aging and require more maintenance. Also, mature trees are growing close to and overhanging the lines, which increases the probability of an outage.
Progression of Hydro-Québec’s priority maintenance work
Hydro-Québec’s action plan to improve electricity service quality in Brossard includes:
- An inspection of all of the area’s 56 overhead and underground lines
- Preventive equipment repairs in areas M, N, O, R, S and T
- Vegetation control efforts near the lines in areas M, N, O, R, S and T
Once the priority work is completed in these areas, preventive equipment repairs and vegetation control efforts will follow in the other areas of the city of Brossard.

- Inspection of overhead lines 100%
