MONTREAL, May 23, 2024
/CNW/ - Hilo and Quebecor are teaming up to present Quebecor
subsidiary employees with a special offer on Hilo's smart home service—a move that aims to
further the adoption of sustainable practices and good energy use
habits across the province. This partnership underscores the
importance both organizations place on supporting the collective
effort towards more efficient energy consumption in Quebec.
"Business have an important role to play in the fight against
climate change, and this necessarily involves energy transition and
efficiency. Hilo is therefore a
key partner that will enable us to support our Quebec employees in adopting and promoting
sustainable practices. This initiative is in addition to our
company's existing environmental commitments and flagship programs,
including our ambitious transportation electrification plan. We
encourage Quebec organizations to
continue getting involved in this fight" says Pierre Karl, Péladeau, President and CEO of
Quebecor.
"We're pleased to be partnering with Quebecor to offer its staff
a very attractive offer on Hilo's
smart home service, an indispensable tool for saving electricity
and participating in the energy transition. This initiative will
help mobilize more Quebecers to adopt good energy management
practices. We hope that more companies looking to take part in the
clean energy shift will be able to offer this service to their
staff and can use it as a mobilizing tool. Finally, this new
partnership embodies our objective of helping our customers consume
electricity more efficiently at home," says Dave Rhéaume, Executive
Vice-President, Energy Planning and Customer Experience at
Hydro-Québec.
Last winter, each Hilo
challenge curtailed 103 MW of power. And in addition to saving up
to 15% on their electricity bills, participants received an average
of $135 in cash rewards over the
course of the season.
If your company is also interested in offering the Hilo smart home service to its staff at a
special price, we invite you to reach out to the Hilo customer service team.
