Hydropower, Wind and Solar: Building a Renewable Future

Québec stands out on the world stage for its ability to produce clean, renewable, and abundant electricity. Thanks to its vast territory, favorable climate, and decades of energy vision, the province has become a leader in the global green energy transition.

​Hydropower: The Driving Force of Québec

For over a century, water has powered Québec’s development. With more than 60 major hydroelectric dams across the province, Hydro-Québec has built one of the most impressive renewable grids on the planet, generating around 95% of Québec’s electricity from this clean source.
Landmarks like Robert-Bourassa (LG-2), Manic-5, and La Grande-1 are more than feats of engineering — they’re the backbone of our energy independence.

Hydropower means:

  • A stable and predictable power supply

  • One of the lowest carbon footprints in the world

  • The ability to quickly respond to energy demands

PowerTech Énergie Inc. is proud to help maintain, upgrade, and support the infrastructure that keeps this legacy alive.

Wind Energy: Québec in Full Swing

Since the early 2000s, Québec has made major strides in wind power, especially in areas like Gaspésie, Bas-Saint-Laurent, and Côte-Nord. Today, the province is home to one of North America’s most dynamic wind energy networks.

Key facts:

  • Over 40 operating wind farms

  • About 4,000 MW in installed capacity

  • 100% renewable energy, often developed in partnership with local and Indigenous communities

Wind power complements hydroelectricity, strengthening the resilience and flexibility of the provincial grid.

Solar Energy: The Future Rising

While still emerging, solar energy is gaining traction in Québec. Thanks to rapidly advancing technology and lower installation costs, solar is becoming viable — even in colder climates.

We’re seeing solar in action:

  • Pilot projects on school and hospital rooftops

  • Residential and off-grid applications

  • Commercial and industrial self-generation setups

PowerTech Énergie Inc. closely monitors these trends, with a clear goal: to support a diversified portfolio of renewable energy sources.

Une vision intégrée de l’énergie renouvelable

​Québec’s energy future lies not in a single technology, but in the combined strength of its natural resources: water, wind, and sun. These renewable forces, supported by world-class engineering and infrastructure, position Québec as a key player in the global effort against climate change.
