Hydro-Québec
Hydro-Québec is the government-owned Crown corporation that generates, transmits and distributes almost all of the electricity consumed in Québec, Canada — a vertically integrated, near-monopoly utility running one of the largest hydroelectric fleets in the world and serving roughly 4.6 million customer accounts across the province. It sits at every point of the value chain at once, as generator, transmission owner, distributor and retailer, plus a cross-border exporter into the New England and New York markets. Its API posture is a clean split. Market and grid data is genuinely open — a public Opendatasoft-powered portal at donnees.hydroquebec.com serves 26 datasets (electricity demand and generation, imports and exports, outages, GHG emission factors, hydrometric and weather data, winter peak demand events, vegetation control) through a documented, anonymously callable REST API with a machine-readable OpenAPI 3.0.3 description and a DCAT catalog export, licensed CC BY-NC 4.0. Consumer data is closed — there is no documented customer-facing API, no Green Button Download My Data or Connect My Data service, and no third-party consent flow; a customer's own usage is reachable only by logging into the Espace client web portal. Québec has no consumer energy data right. Ontario's Green Button regulation (O. Reg. 633/21 under the Electricity Act, 1998) is province-specific and does not bind Hydro-Québec, and Canada has no national equivalent to Australia's Consumer Data Right energy regime. Open market data, closed consumer data, no mandate.
Hydro-Québec is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Hydro-Québec is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
