Solar Photovoltaics in Quebec: As Competitive as Wind and Hydroelectric Power by 2030

See all news

As Quebec embarks on its energy transition and accelerates the electrification of its economy, energy demand continues to grow to such an extent that an energy deficit in Quebec is anticipated as early as 2026. Against this backdrop, Nergica, a research and innovation center specializing in renewable energy, is releasing today the first in-depth study highlighting the potential of the solar energy sector in Quebec: Photovoltaic Solar Energy in Quebec’s Energy Mix – Analysis and Outlook.

Sustainable, flexible, and competitive, photovoltaic (PV) solar energy has grown significantly worldwide in recent years, reducing its production costs by 85% between 2010 et 2020. PV solar energy could therefore play a more significant role in Quebec’s energy mix.
