That might help New, discounted rate offering for Qubec greenhouse growers
QUBEC, July 10, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - Hydro-Qubec has filed an application with the Rgie de l'nergie regarding a new rate offering to support the development of the Qubec greenhouse industry.
The application provides for a rate of 5.59¢ per kilowatthour (kWh) for photosynthetic lighting and space heating to raise crops, available to all growers with a power demand of at least 50 kilowatts (kW). Under the new rate offering, the terms and conditions available to greenhouse growers since 2013 under the Additional Electricity Option for photosynthetic lighting would be significantly expanded, as follows:
- The power demand threshold would decrease from 300 kW to 50 kW.
- Electricity consumption for space heating to raise crops would qualify as well as that used for photosynthetic lighting.
- Contracts at large-power Rate LG (for uses other than industrial activities) would also become eligible.
