Elle souhaite une augmentation de 3,6% à compter du 1er avril. Hydro-Québec entend contester la décision.
La Régie de l'énergie a rejected Hydro-Québec's request to limit residential electricity rate increases to 3%, opting instead for a 3.6% increase. Hydro-Québec intends to contest the decision, which also goes against the government's wishes. The Régie defends its decision by citing the need to recover all costs for electricity service and rejecting arbitrary rate caps.
