Every year, Hydro-Québec files a rate adjustment application with the Régie de l’énergie, an independent regulatory body. This application is analyzed according to a rigorous process that includes public hearings in December, during which representatives from all stakeholders can express their views.
In March, when the Régie de l’énergie has completed its analysis, it sets the electricity rates that will go into effect on April 1.
