Savings and rates

How does Hydro-Québec's Rate Flex D work? 

Rate Flex D can help you save significantly on your electricity bill. 

In winter: 

Outside of peak demand events — that is, for more than 95% of the season — electricity is priced below the base rate (Rate D). 

During peak demand events — which account for no more than 5% of the season — electricity is priced higher than the base rate. 

For the rest of the year, standard Rate D (base rate) prices apply.
