A precious energy ally
Quebecers are among the largest consumers of energy on the planet. Our per capita consumption exceeds that of Germany, Norway and Sweden, countries with climates and comparable industries. In light of this, the technological shift proposed by Hilo becomes a must in the collective optimization of our energy consumption.
Highlights
Clean energy
99.8% of the energy supplied by Hydro-Québec comes from hydroelectricity, a clean, renewable source of energy.
Energy-consuming habits
Quebec is a major consumer of electricity, with an average annual consumption of 17,000 kWh per household.
Heater
More than 80% of Quebec residences are heated with electricity. Heating accounts for 55% of total energy consumption.
In the world
72% of GHGs emitted are related to the production and consumption of energy.
In Quebec
Electricity accounts for 0.3% of total GHG emissions, compared to 43% for the transport sector and 30.1% for the industrial sector.
From yesterday to today
From 1990 to 2016, energy consumption increased by 26% in Canada and by 15% in Quebec.
Electric mobility
The number of vehicles has increased by 75% between 2018 and 2019, and Québec currently has 43,222 electric vehicles and 4,726 charging stations. The sale of SUVs, however, continues to grow.
Craze for self-production of energy
716 autoproducers were inventoried in Quebec in 2018.
Optimize our consumption thanks to intelligent energy
In a connected, more and more energy-consuming world, Hilo becomes our greatest energy ally. The new Hydro-Québec subsidiary is at the heart of Québec's energy transition, which is largely based on technological innovation. Home automation, building automation, energy storage, electric mobility; the integration of new technologies will allow us collectively to do more with less.
Through energy products and services, Hilo will play an accompanying role in helping us make informed choices and optimize our energy consumption. Participating in energy change means helping Quebec better respond to demand and better face the challenges of tomorrow.
