Throughout the day, targeted discussions complemented the panels, offering in-depth perspectives on key issues in Quebec’s energy transition. These exchanges explored themes complementary to the main panels, highlighting long-term vision, regulatory considerations, territorial realities and technological opportunities.
The “Update on the Public Utilities Tax (PST)” discussion offered essential insight into the tax changes proposed in Quebec’s 2025-2026 budget. Jean Habel (CanREA) and Luis Calzado (AQPER) addressed the potential impacts of this reform on energy companies, both financially and strategically. The conversation led to a better understanding of the adjustments needed to ensure that fiscal policy supports the sector’s growth while respecting the province’s climate objectives.
A discussion with Hydro-Québec, on “the development of solar energy in Quebec,” highlighted new technological avenues for electrification. Dave Rhéaume of Hydro-Québec led a discussion on the challenges of integrating solar power into the Quebec context, focusing on infrastructure, cost and public acceptability. The session was moderated by Jean-Hugues Lapointe of CIMA+. Solar energy was presented as an essential component of a diversified energy mix, capable of strengthening the resilience and agility of the grid in the face of future energy needs.
In the discussion “The CPTAQ’s key role in agricultural zones,” participants explored the crucial role played by the Commission de protection du territoire agricole du Québec (CPTAQ) in the development of energy projects in agricultural zones. Stéphane Labrie, President of the CPTAQ, explained how the organization navigates between the imperatives of energy development and the need to protect a precious agricultural resource for Quebec. Moderated by Étienne Chabot of the Ministère de l’Économie, de l’Innovation et de l’Énergie, this discussion provided a better understanding of the evaluation processes, the decision-making criteria, and the tensions between sustainable development and farmland preservation.
Finally, in the discussion “Quebec’s Energy Advantage: A Vision for the Future,” Philippe Dunsky (President of Dunsky Energy + Climate Advisors) shared his analysis of Quebec’s strategic strengths in renewable energy. In dialogue with moderator Eva Lotta Schmidt (ENERCON), he presented an ambitious vision focused on the responsible exploitation of Quebec’s own resources, while highlighting the challenges of competitiveness and innovation in a constantly evolving global market. The exchange also highlighted Quebec’s potential to become a world leader in sustainability, thanks to intelligent planning and structuring investments.
