We conducted a detailed analysis of winter peak load management, which shows that we could shift several thousand megawatts or several gigawatts of power by managing thermal storage or an electric battery for a few days.
This is a challenge that is not limited to Quebec. The rest of Canada will also electrify its heating sooner or later, and this electrification will come with winter peak management. So we have to do it.
We believe it will be primarily a technical issue. When we conduct analyses, behavioural changes are minimal when considering a winter peak during extreme cold spells.
