Hilo’s mission
Together, we can make a real difference
Hilo is more than a smart home service — it’s a Québec-made solution designed to meet our province’s growing energy needs and support Québec's energy transition.
This collective effort is one everyone can contribute to, and it’s already delivering real, measurable results.
Why choose Hilo?
Hilo helps you use and manage electricity more efficiently during high-demand winter periods. With your help, Hilo’s virtual power plant is set to generate 620 MW by 2028–2029 — the equivalent of the Romaine-2 hydroelectric station’s output! That freed-up energy will support the electrification of transportation in Québec and help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.
Smart move. Powerful results.
Last winter, nearly 115,000 people using Hilo to automate their smart devices helped reduce electricity demand by about 320 MW.
That’s enough energy to…
-
power 1,164 homes for a year
-
do nearly 55 million loads of laundry
-
make 200,000 round trips between Montreal and Quebec City in an electric car
