Can self-generators sell their electricity to Hydro-Qubec?

No. The regulations currently in effect do not allow Hydro-Qubec to buy electricity without calling for tenders. However, self-generators may feed their surplus power into the Hydro-Qubec grid according to certain well-defined criteria. In exchange, Hydro-Qubec will grant them credits in kilowatthours. Customers can thus reduce their electricity bills during periods when their consumption exceeds their capacity to generate power.
