Hydro-Québec is a hydropower giant in the most literal sense. Its vast system gives it the ability to supply reliable, low-carbon electricity at a scale that few utilities anywhere in the world can match. The firm’ s James Bay complex, built across the boreal wilderness of northern Quebec, is one of the largest hydroelectric systems ever constructed.
What’ s more, its story is one of engineering and environmental negotiation that has reshaped how the world thinks about mega-projects.
