Vision Énergie: Quebec's Long-Term Energy Future

Open Policy & Studies Economy & Jobs Environment & Climate Natural Resources
Quebec is planning its energy future to 2050 and wants your input. The province needs to cut greenhouse gas emissions dramatically, which means big changes to how energy is produced and consumed. The Ministry of Economy, Innovation and Energy is developing an Integrated Energy Resource Management Plan (PGIRE) to map out the best path forward. Multiple ways to participate are available, from surveys to public consultations.

Why This Matters

Your electricity bills, heating costs, and even job opportunities could be shaped by these decisions. Quebec is deciding whether to invest more in wind, solar, or other clean energy sources. If you drive an electric car or plan to, this affects charging infrastructure. Rural communities may see new energy projects—or not. This is about what Quebec looks like in 25 years.

What Could Change

Quebec will adopt a long-term energy trajectory through the PGIRE, setting priorities for clean energy investments to 2050. This could mean more wind farms, changes to electricity pricing, or new efficiency requirements for buildings. The plan will guide billions in infrastructure spending and shape which industries grow or shrink.

Key Issues

  • What clean energy sources should Quebec prioritize for the future?
  • How can Quebec reduce energy consumption through efficiency and conservation?
  • What is the best long-term energy trajectory to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets?
  • How should energy production, transport, and distribution investments be prioritized?

How to Participate

  1. Register on the consultation platform to participate.
  2. Take the public consultation survey to share your views on Quebec's energy future.
  3. Try the Energy Compass (Boussole de l'énergie) interactive tool.
  4. Review the Quebec energy portrait for background information.
