Quebec weighs higher electricity rates for top household users
Hydro-Québec rates could rise for homes using over 35,000 kWh a year See how Quebec’s proposed pricing shift may affect your residential bill
HydroQuébec is considering higher electricity rates for homes that use more than 35,000 kilowatthours a year, a level that would affect about the top 5% of residential customers in the province.
The proposal is part of a broader discussion about how to price electricity for households with the highest consumption. It comes as Quebec continues to manage energy demand and plan for future supply needs.
The CBC News segment examines whether those larger users should pay more and what the change could mean for residential bills in Quebec.
