Environment

•August 2015 : spill at Ivujivik– Leak of 10 000 liters of diesel fuel

– Ground and water stream contaminated

– Total of 605 m³ of contaminated soil treated

– Site restauration : 2015-2016

•Sept. 2014 : spill at IDLM– Leak of 100 000 liters of diesel fuel

– Ground and water contaminated

– Site restauration : 2015-2017

Financial

• Cost : 230 M$ (51,6 ¢/kWh)

• Revenue : 40 M$ (9,0 ¢/kWh)

• Deficit : 190 M$ (42,6 ¢/kWh)

- Social pact : Same rates everywhere for HQ customers

- Dissuasive rates (electric heating, north of 53rd)

- Commercial programs

- Energy efficiency programs

• GHG emissions

– The Quebec cap-and-trade system

– Emission rights = 2M$ in 2016 (IDLM)

– Emission unit price scheduled to increase : 5% plus inflation every year

Strategic plan 2016-2020

15

Strategic plan 2016-2020

•Progressively convert off-grid systems to cleaner, lessexpensive energy sources

•Launch requests for proposals (RFPs) for all systems by 2020

•Partnerships between project proponents ans communities

•Competitive bidding

•Consideration : particularities of each system and needs of each community to choose the most appropriate technologicalsolution
