Hydro-Québec is the largest generator of renewable energy in North America with more than 99% of its electricity produced by hydropower: a clean and reliable form of energy. They generate, transmit, and distribute electricity, and operate a vast high-voltage transmission system. For decades Hydro-Québec has been a committed partner providing renewable energy to neighbouring markets in the Northeast. Hydro-Québec Energy Services is their U.S. subsidiary.
