AIEQ welcomes agreement in principle on hydroelectric production in Labrador

" This historic agreement marks a decisive step towards decarbonizing the Quebec economy, and meets the growing need for renewable energy to electrify and decarbonize Quebec. By securing a sustainable and affordable supply for decades to come, Quebec is consolidating its position as a leader in energy transition and the green economy. We would like to take this opportunity to underline the masterful work of Mr. Sabia's team in this matter, " says Alain Sayegh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the AIEQ.

" This strategic agreement is excellent news for the entire energy ecosystem. It highlights the importance of the entire industry, including Quebec manufacturers, SMEs and service companies, working together on this vast long-term project to guarantee energy security and stimulate major investments in renewable infrastructure with a very low carbon footprint. We also applaud Hydro-Québec's inclusive approach with its Aboriginal partners, which reinforces a sustainable and equitable vision for all, " adds Marie Lapointe, President and CEO of AIEQ.
