Yesterday #chpe, @LIUBasketball, and @WVIdolphinfdn hosted an amazing community basketball clinic at the @vbgcq. Local youth had the opportunity to play with LIU Men's Basketball players and @rod_strickland.

Thanks to @Costa4NY, @hydroquebecIntl, and Mentors on the Move 4 Life!

The UL 9540 certification of Evlo's EVLOFLEX storage system is an important milestone that promises to bring even more opportunities in the United States.

[EVLO Energy Storage @EnergyEvlo]

NEWS: EVLO collaborated with Virginia's largest utility @DominionEnergy on safety enhanced EVLOFLEX.
Modified EVLOFLEX version recently earned UL 9540 certification and will aid Virginia's clean energy transition with 300+ MWh to be deployed.

Thank you @GovKathyHochul and @Doreen_M_Harris for the shoutouts during this crucial Future Energy Economy Summit.

We look forward to continuing to contribute to New York’s clean energy transition.

Congrats to EVLO Energy Storage Inc. (EVLO) for these important projects! The deployment of three EVLOFLEX battery energy storage systems (BESS) in the Commonwealth of Virginia will support the Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA).

Set to be commissioned in 2025 and 2026, the projects will contribute to the transformation of the electric grid to 100% clean energy by 2050 and boost investment into clean energy technologies in the fight against climate change.

[EVLO Energy Storage @EnergyEvlo]

EVLO powers up Virginia's #cleanenergy future!
We are to deploy 3 EVLOFLEX #BESS battery storage systems totalling +300 MWh. This supports the Virginia Clean Economy Act #VCEA goal of 100% carbon-free electricity by 2050.

@EnergyEvlo, a fully integrated battery energy storage system (BESS) provider and subsidiary of Hydro-Québec, announced that its first utility-scale BESS project in the United States, is now operational. The contracted 3 MW/12 MWh installation is located in Troy, Vermont.

The system will help increase the amount of clean energy generation available to the New England grid and reduce peak demand by storing energy during strong production times for later use during peak energy demand.

The Troy project will also provide data to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Sandia National Laboratories after being awarded $2 million in cost-share funding to demonstrate how battery storage can enable the expansion of renewable energy production, while further integrating renewables into the New England grid. EVLO will monitor and maintain the BESS under a 20-year long-term services agreement, in partnership with Vermont utilities including the Vermont Electric Cooperative, which serves the town of Troy.

EVLO puts into operation a first battery #EnergyStorage system in the USA. Located in Vermont, the #BESS project will help increase the amount of #RenewableEnergy available to the New England grid.

39 of our employees, including 16 teams of linemen, are on their way to Albany in the state of @NYGov to help @NYSEG who has requested assistance due to numerous outages caused by severe thunderstorms in the area.

Our COO Serge Abergel, participated in a panel @ClimaTechLive in Boston alongside Grand Chief Kahsennenhawe Sky-Deer, @HighSierraAaron and @KerrickJohnson7. Together they highlighted how reconciliation and win-win partnerships with indigenous and environmental justice communities are not only possible but essential.

Hydro-Québec Energy Services proudly served as a founding partner for this inaugural #ClimaTech event. We also sponsored the Great Global Innovation Challenge, where our colleague Kyle Collins served as a guest judge. Congratulations to the winning teams and thank you to the @MIT for organizing this challenge to showcase climate-focused startups :

Winner of early stage: MacroCycle Technologies
Winner of late stage and Mass Prize: AeroShield Materials
Winner of Global South: Touchcast

Discussing actionable climate solution like hydropower and transmission, all while having a good laugh with a terrific group of participants at the #USClimateActionSummit in DC! Thanks @ClimateGroup

[Hydro-Québec Clean Energy @hydroquebecIntl]

Happy to take part in this week's #USClimateActionSummit and to have the opportunity to exchange with experts, leaders and innovators who are committed to shaping a sustainable future for our planet. @ClimateGroup

[Climate Group @ClimateGroup]

At the #USClimateActionSummit today, @hydroquebecIntl hosted 'Unlocking Bilateral Transmission in the Northeast', a roundtable discussing the optimization of transmission planning, necessary policy reforms, and the acceleration of investments to support clean energy demand.

“When I look to the future, one thing is clear: the immense challenge of the energy transition will require creativity and open minds. The agreement we celebrate today with the @MCKahnawake is a true testament to that spirit of innovation," said Michael Sabia, President and CEO of Hydro-Québec. "I hope this agreement will serve as an example of how we can work differently with other Indigenous partners across Quebec. A new way of working, which is at the heart of the idea of economic reconciliation."

The Grand Chief of Kahnawà:ke Ohén:ton Í:iente ne Ratitsénhaienhs Kahsennenhawe Sky-Deer, Chief Executive Officer Michael Sabia, and the Minister responsible for Relations with First Nations and Inuit, Ian Lafrenière, today signed the partnership agreements between Hydro-Québec and the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke regarding the future Hertel-New York interconnection. Under the agreement, the Hertel-New York line, between the converter station at La Prairie and the New York border, will become the property of a company co-owned by Kahnawà:ke and Hydro-Québec, providing the community with various economic benefits for a period of 40 years.

We want to thank our US friends and partners for attending this historic ceremony!

It is regrettable that the reporting by the WSJ has chosen to emphasize research from the years 1980 to 2000, while overlooking forward-looking studies such as those by Ouranos and the IPCC, which forecast increased, rather than diminished, water inflows in the coming decades. This selective portrayal could erroneously suggest that hydropower is not a viable solution for the energy transition. Such a conclusion is detrimental, considering that hydropower is the only renewable energy source capable of complementing solar and wind generation, a renewable energy mix that can effectively replace fossil fuels for electricity production.

[Hydro-Québec Clean Energy @hydroquebecIntl]

Water supply variability is a normal and well-known phenomenon in hydroelectric production. Periods of low and high water levels have followed one another over the years. In Québec, for example, in 2004 and 2014, the energy stock was lower than it is today. In the long term, independent research such as one from Ouranos shows that climate change will likely favor northern hydro systems in Québec, increasing the water available for hydropower production, an increase of 6 to 8%, particularily where Hydro-Québec’s very large upstream reservoirs are available to hedge against inflow variability. In the context of the energy transition which relies on a combination of renewable sources it is unfortunate that these facts didn't make their way into the article.

[Hydro-Québec Clean Energy @hydroquebecIntl]

As people are at the center of the energy transition, we aim to being a community first partner. Beyond our core business of providing clean energy, it means being present where people live to understand their reality, listening to their needs and cultivating trust. This commitment is reflected in the initiatives we support.

We're proud to have contributed to the @LeMetropolitain U.S. tour, and to have given young music students from New York’s local communities the unique opportunity to take part in this enriching experience.

We are thrilled to announce @hydroquebecIntl as a Breakout Partner of US Climate Action Summit 2024!

[Hydro-Québec Clean Energy @hydroquebecIntl]

We were happy to see our partner, the @mckahnawake, ringing the closing bell of the @tsx_tsxv this afternoon to celebrate the launch of the Kahnawake Sovereign Wealth Fund. The MCK launched this fund to generate income for the long-term economic prosperity of #Kahnawake. It will be used to invest in a variety of projects, including the Hertel-New York transmission line that will bring clean electricity to @nycgov. Hydro-Québec commends Kahnawake’s economic vision based on #sustainable development.
