What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Hydro-Québec released a new supply plan for 2027-2041, projecting that Quebec's electricity demand will increase by over 30 per cent, reaching 60 terawatt-hours by 2041. This growth, driven by the electrification of transportation and data centers, could lead to energy deficits as early as 2029. To meet this demand, the utility plans to add 24,000 megawatts of generation capacity by 2041.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The utility's projections for increased demand and potential imports affect its core revenue and financial stability. The need for imports also increases market demand for neighboring provincial energy producers. Hydro-Québec is also aiming to achieve energy efficiency savings of 21 terawatt-hours by 2035.
