Hydro-Québec schlägt eine Verdoppelung der Stromtarife für energiehungrige Rechenzentren vor

absolutely should, every year.

that was their game. get companies to onboard cheaper to get rid of their on premises tech.

then jack up the prices every year since its too hard for most to move back.

sell them cheap power to get them to build a giant data centre. then jack up the rates every year.

That still keeps data centres costs below Canadian average cost of electricity. Considering they are major energy consumers with limited economic benefit to the province this will probably be popular

I don’t agree with this.

Electricity is electricity. End consumption use doesn’t matter.

I’m unsure why certain industries are being singled out for increased pricing.

This doesn’t seem like a good slope, and also a way to snub investment.

Set the price to what they can bear so that Hydro can fund building other power plants to keep electricity generation sustainable.
