Projet de loi sur l'énergie : le Parti Québécois affirme qu'un bâillon coûterait un milliard de dollars

AI Article Summary
The Parti Québécois warns that Bill 69, a proposed energy law, could cost Quebec consumers a billion dollars by allowing Hydro-Québec to pass on more costs to customers. The bill would enable tariff increases, and costs from agreements with Indigenous communities and municipal redistributors, to be transferred to consumers. Minister Christine Fréchette argues that the bill is necessary to cap residential tariff increases at 3% and enable wind power initiatives, expected to bring significant savings and create jobs. This bill, yet to be fully studied, aims to increase Hydro-Québec's electricity production by 30% by 2035.
