Researching new ways to generate electricity

Once we get together and think, Quebecers can come up with lots of ideas for developing renewable energy. Québec has an abundance of natural resources—there’s no shortage of wind, sun and water!

Researching new ways to generate electricity

Once we get together and think, Quebecers can come up with lots of ideas for developing renewable energy. Québec has an abundance of natural resources—there’s no shortage of wind, sun and water!

Whether in a laboratory or through major projects that reflect our values, we are constantly at work on developing new ideas. 


We continually strive to offer products and services that provide reliable electricity at competitive rates for a sustainable Québec.

Implementing microgrids in Québec

A veritable innovation laboratory, the Lac-Mégantic microgrid has allowed Hydro-Québec to test the most advanced technologies involving energy and consumption optimization across an entire neighborhood. 

We hope that what we learn here will lead to microgrids being set up elsewhere in the province to accelerate the energy transition in Québec.

Innovating to accelerate the energy transition

Our research centers bring together more than 500 specialists who work together to make the power system greener, smarter and more efficient. 

Their R&D activities lead to innovative technological solutions, which means our products and services are better able to respond to the concerns, hopes and lifestyles of Quebecers.
