Here is a simple guide to understand this financial aid, how it works, and the steps to take advantage of it.

How an On-Grid System Works
In addition to using electricity supplied by Hydro-Québec, you also consume the electricity you produce yourself or that you have stored using equipment you own and operate.
Since your installations are connected to Hydro-Québec’s grid, energy exchanges work like communicating vessels: electricity flows both ways depending on your needs and production.
