2014 Will Be A Very Busy Year For Quebec's Energy Sector

As I discussed in an earlier post, Quebec's Minister of Natural Resources struck a committee and issued a consultation paper last summer as part of a process expected to result with a new energy policy for Quebec. The public consultation process was completed last October and the commission's report is expected in early 2014. Barring any early elections, a new policy should be released later in 2014.

As outlined in my previous post, the government's objectives are ambitious and require significant capital. While it is highly unlikely that any policy objective would be dropped by the current government, it will be interesting to see the priority and the resource allocation assigned to each objective.
