Hydro-Québec supports council’s vision for clean energy transition

Hydro-Québec has expressed support for the Canada Electricity Advisory Council’s latest report, which advocates for a reliable, affordable, and inclusive transition to clean energy. The report aligns with Hydro-Québec’s Action Plan 2035, emphasizing the need for an evolving legal and regulatory framework to expedite the energy transition.

Key recommendations include simplifying project reviews and establishing equivalency mechanisms with provinces. Hydro-Québec also praises proposals to expand the loan guarantee program, enhance support for First Nations and Inuit communities, and increase access to energy efficiency programs for low-income households. The Council’s analyses suggest that shifting to clean energy will reduce fossil fuel use and overall energy consumption, leading to consumer savings.
