Hydro-Québec anticipates a 30% increase in electricity demand by 2041, risking supply deficits as early as 2029, and may need to import power from U.S. and other provinces. The utility plans to add 24,000 MW capacity and focus on energy efficiency, while keeping nuclear energy as a long-term option.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must plan for power shortages as Hydro-Québec’s rising demand threatens local supply by 2029. Find opportunities selling energy or efficiency tech to Quebec as it turns to imports and new generation investments.
