Hydro-Quebec wants a 2.9% increase for paying its costs in procurement, transportation and distribution

Hydro-Québec whose electricity rates were reduced by -0.5% in 2011-2012 has filed a new request at the Régie de l’énergie. According to Hydro-Québec the "costs in procurement, transport and distribution" have risen sharply and it must also inject funds into "investment projects of $ 656 million in 2013."

This increase would affect all categories of consumers/clients. Hydro-Québec hopes, this way, to increase its revenue by $ 192 million from April 1 to December 31, 2013.

The decision will be made in a few months. The APQ will follow this file in order to inform you about the potential increase in your electricity costs.
