New York could thus sign a contract of up to 5 terawatts / hour (tWh). “There are more steps being taken,” Julien told The Canadian Press at the end of the cabinet meeting on Wednesday afternoon. Thus, discussions are progressing to have Quebec hydropower recognized as renewable and green energy. “This recognition is progressing well, which will make all the difference,” he continued. He said that two days before his visit, the president of Hydro-Quebec, Éric Martel, had also gone to New York. Mr. Julien was in the metropolis as part of “Climate Week”, this vast summit on the environment coordinated in particular by the United Nations (UN). In May, Prime Minister François Legault also flew to New York to sell surplus electricity from Hydro-Quebec. He had suggested that any contract to sell these surpluses at a rate that is greater than zero cents per kilowatt / hour is advantageous for the Crown corporation. The Quebec government corporation estimated its energy surplus at 12.6 TWh for 2019. – Related posts:The “Big Five” exhibition discusses reducing construction emissions in Dubai, December 4 - 7 | Al K...Football Bordeaux - Costil accused, Ultras "sold", Bordeaux explodes!Hochparterre - Architektur - Holcim Award in Gold goes to WinterthurGabon:Government projects Gabon:Government projectsShare this:FacebookX Related Job offer underwriter company damage – axa assurance algeria is recruiting – algiers, algeria The reason why the Xbox controller uses the AAA battery is exposed?
