If you could reduce your company's electricity bill while contributing to Quebec's collective energy transition, would you do it? It's highly likely! How could you do it? By reducing the power demand on your buildings and equipment during peak events.
What does it mean to manage power demand?
At certain times of the year, the electricity network is under heavy strain. This is particularly true in winter, when the weather is very cold. The most critical periods are in the morning, from 6 am to 9 am, and at the end of the day, from 4 pm to 8 pm. This is when winter peaks occur, when demand for electricity is very high.
Various Hydro-Québec offers enable businesses and organizations that reduce their consumption during peak periods, or shift it to off-peak periods, to save on their bills. These initiatives also relieve pressure on the grid and electrify sectors that still rely on fossil fuels.
