Énergir gets the green light to deploy a 100% renewable energy supply for any new connection to its network
Énergir welcomes the Régie de l’énergie du Québec’s decision to approve its initiative requiring that all new network connections are powered by 100% renewable energy, effective April 2024. This initiative will apply to all residential, commercial and institutional buildings that want to connect to Énergir’s network for the first time. As stated in its Vision 2030–2050, Énergir believes that its natural gas network has reached maturity. It plans to significantly reduce the volume of fossil natural gas and make the residual volume it distributes progressively renewable. To achieve this, Énergir offers several energy solutions to support customers in the transition to renewable energy. It begins with a focus on energy efficiency solutions to help customers reduce their energy consumption and electrification of off-peak winter heating through dual energy, then looks to RNG for the remaining portion of the energy supply.
