Press Release

Another wave of fraudulent calls appearing to come from Hydro-Québec

Hydro-Québec encourages customers to be careful further to reports of fraudulent calls purporting to be from the company. The person calling demands immediate payment, threatening service interruption if their demand is not met.

We would like to remind customers that we recently announced that there will be no administration charges and no service interruptions for nonpayment, until further notice, due to the economic difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. For more information on the measures we announced: http://news.hydroquebec.com/en/press-releases/1598/hydro-quebec-is-doing-more-for-its-customers/.

To find out how to recognize a fraudulent message, go to http://www.hydroquebec.com/fraud-prevention.html.
