Thanks for nothing @hydroquebec "planned outage" from 9:15-5:15pm then delayed to 8:15pm on a VERY cold day and no notification. Not very PLANNED! #EpicFail #hydroquebec

Anyone else participating in Hydro Quebec peak demand events where you're notified via email that you can freeze for a few specified hours the next day to cut down your hydro bill which has gone through the roof since the pandemic started last March?

This is when I would usually use my phone’s LTE signal to look up HydroQuebec’s power outage map (like the one below); or check the local online news. But there’s another problem: For some reason there’s no signal! No power, no wifi, no radio, no LTE. Hm... gettin’ interesting! https://t.co/BgxHY7Q9e2

Sad! Hydro Quebec went from telling us things would start being fixed by 130pm in saint Amable to “****ysis in progress”.
I feel screwed. Screwed by how much we pay for the worst service when we need it most! Give us timeframes after being down for almost 12 hours @hydroquebec

The first major snowfall of the winter, and surprise, we have lost power.
Why am I not surprised, @hydroquebec ?
Infrastructure currently in place is truly pathetic.
Always come back to the same issue of whether hydro lines should be buried....

My daughter moved away for university, and my hydro bill went down almost 25%. An empty nest is a cheaper nest. By the way, Hydro's customer space @hydro_customer is really efficient for tracking your electricity use. If you have teenagers, brace yourself! #hydroquebec

Power outage at my house today. Power failures were quite common when I was a kid in the 70’s and then super rare. But lately there are quite a few. So here’s an idea @hydroquebec, maybe put my Bill back down to 1970’s rates? 👍😁

now the power is back. Quite 😊 about that. Though I’d wish @hydroquebec would put lines underground so that we wouldn’t have wind and branches damaging lines and shutting down neighbourhoods. If we had that, maybe we wouldn’t have had the electricity problems of 1998 ice storm.

@hishamzerriffi @GlobalEcoGuy 👍🏻 A lot of people around here burn deadfall for heat, and from a climate POV that doesn’t strike me as a problem (more an air quality issue). We keep a small stock of deadfall wood which we burn on the really cold days (when Hydro Quebec offers us credits for using less power).

Connecting to Hydro Quebec is still an option. I get the interest in local investments, and I advocate for them in my region, but let’s acknowledge the need to balance DERs and investing in a stronger bulk power grid, eh? #FreeSeams

NL resources may once again be exploited by outsiders, as was the case, with Churchill Falls contract, because NL will not be in a position to pay down the cost of Muskrat Falls. The Atlantic Loop will provide transmission for Hydro Quebec exploitation.

@Tpsmyth01 Agreed. It is a tricky subject. I tend to think that banks such as Royal Bank are more like KLM and less like Hydro Quebec because the latter is a monopoly, whereas if you don't like Royal, then go down the street to BMO or CIBC.

They sign a 25 year contract to buy at 15c. Then, EDF and others come and build the turbines. We're being robbed in the name of greenness.

Hydro Quebec has so much hydro that they down 3-4GW every hour of every day down into NY and NE to offset coal and gas there.
