The Hydro & Me Panel

The general interest in our Collective Energy campaign and the ambition of the ideas received have encouraged us to continue to include Quebecers in our thinking process. In this spirit, we launched the Hydro & Me Panel: a sort of collective think tank we consult on a regular basis, usually through online questionnaires. The panel passed the 10,000-member mark in 2022 and has enjoyed a high degree of participation.

A Collective achievement

Last June, we shared initiatives inspired by the ideas proposed during the Collective Energy citizen consultation. Among these are Estrie-based greenhouse growers La Vallée du Moulin, currently testing a dehumidification technology that could result in more fresh fruits and vegetables being available all year long. In venturing to grow such exotic fruits as figs, the company shows an innovative approach to boosting Québec’s food self-sufficiency.
