Hydro-Québec wants to promote 125,000 customers to install solar panels star-news.press/wp

While the production of electricity wants to increase, Hydro-Québec wants to promote 125,000 customers to install solar panels.

Offers will also be launched in the coming weeks that will provide 300 Megawatt energy to build solar centers.

Today, About 800 customers of Crown Company participate in the program, they allow you to re-enter electricity in the Hidro-Québec network through solar plates.

Others are advancing others, the owners of houses, businesses, or industries, so it seems intimidious.

Earnings of the Kilowatt Hour will double the production of electricity in 2050 in 2050.

If someone encourages the house to better isolate the house, it is a little bit to encourage a solar panel on their roof, reducing consumption. The long term is the same value we see in QuebecDave Rhéaume, the director of the crown of the file explains the Vice President.

Financial subsidies and incentives

Hidro-Québec plans to provide subsidies for installing solar panels next year. Solar energy producers will also improve to make its program more generous.

At the moment, when the excessive electricity is being sending to the network, the crown corporation offers applications to apply credit to the next bills. However, they disappear after two years.

He wants to return now. The change should come into force this summer.

What we anticipate in the coming years is a hundred dollars of kilowatt (kW) is something that could lead to a thousand dollars for a private solar facilityDave represents rhéaume.

With the evolution of prices, the fall of the panels, we believe that towards the end of the decade, it will become very interesting that we will be able to facilitate the decision of customers.

Solar energy Quebec, which promotes this energy form, believes that the State company will be able to reach its goal if its incentives are quite convinces.

Regardless of the type of subsidy, the return on investment should be in 10 years. If we have that, it’s The winner. There, people to embarkPresident Patrick Goulet notes.

Even Hydro-Québec, individuals and companies will also improve the electric capacity created with solar panels as part of its program.

It will fall from 20 to 40 kW for small residential facilities and for 50 to 1000 kW for commercial facilities and industrial facilities. Large projects will be more profitable.

The doors will open municipalities, small industries, farms …

Changes also applauded by Alain Parenol, the nutsère nuts. Entrepreneur installed solar panels in his shop and its transformation workshop while building in 2018.

The signs around 80% of the energy required by the year cost 90,000 dollars and reduces the electricity bill about $ 5,000 a year. Will be profitable in fifteen years.

Honestly, it is a great investment, for now, in terms of the amount of energy produced and then yieldHe believes.

Alain paridel expects others to continue the suit. From an environmental point of view, from an economic point of view, it is very interesting for this. Then, in my opinion, changes will even pushHe says.

Solar power plants will be added to the landscape

Although Quebec has good solar potential, solar energy production is very low.

The province has two central centers, located in Varennes and La Prairie, Mycraseau of Lac-Mégantikoa, which offer less than 0.1% of the electricity.

Will Quebec end up territory in the end of the territory that will dominate the sun? Kinga but in the next decades it is part of the means that we need to comply with an increase in electricityDave rhéaume prosperous.

In the coming weeks, Crown Corporation needs to make offers to build plants from solar center, which will produce 300 Megawatt electricity.

Each Megawatt will bring installing panels to the two and a half-field football field. These solar parks will be created near consumer centers, not in agricultural land, Hydro-Québec emphasized.

It’s really going to be a farm for an agricultural land, what is called it -ur -ur use. Therefore, old landfills, parking, roofs, can be land that cannot be valued for agriculture.

Like wind energy, solar park will develop and operate private sectors, which will denounce energy to the state.

The Quebec association of renewable energy production, representing companies in the sector such as InnerGEX and EDF, believes that at least five Megawatt projects will be feasible.

To create competitive prices for the creation of scales, our associations are recommended for five megawatts and moreThey are PDG, Luis Calzado.

Hydro-Québec has not yet decided which the maximum size of the parks will be, but their capacity will not be able to pass 25 megawatt, as they must supply local networks directly in high voltage lines.

We understand that you need to find a balance between the parks that can be established near consumption sites, but large enough to benefit from scale economiesThis rhéaume dave.
