Understanding the Bill and Rates

Interruptible Electricity Rate Option

If you are a medium-power customer (between 100 and 5,000 kW) and have some load-shaving capability, such as a dual-energy system in good condition that allows you to switch to an alternative power source, this option offers a great opportunity for you to save money on your winter electricity bill.

The interruptible electricity option offers you credits in exchange for curtailing your electricity consumption.

This option was developed to help balance electricity supply and demand in Québec. By limiting your power consumption, you contribute to a wiser use of our collective resources. In return, Hydro-Québec pays you the equivalent of what it spends when it buys power on open markets.
