  • Clean, renewable energy at a low cost: The largest producer of hydroelectric power in North America, Québec can provide reliable energy at rates that are among the lowest and most stable in the world.
  • Qualified, affordable labour: Labour costs are highly competitive thanks to a large pool of qualified workers.

Good-quality fresh water is abundant in Québec, making it less expensive to bring up to drinking standards. This explains why Québec’s water prices are so low compared to most other places around the world.
