A data set specially produced for HackQC and combining, in near real time: * the sources of electricity produced in Quebec; * the exports and imports of electricity, by market; * the sources of imported electricity, by market; * the sources of electricity supplied by Hydro-Québec; * the sources of electricity supplied by Hydro-Québec; * the GHG emissions associated with the electricity consumed in Quebec; * the GHG emissions associated with the electricity consumed in Quebec (1). (1) Except for the electricity consumed in municipal networks and networks autonomous. ## Method Extraction and modeling of data from public sources external to the company. All data sources used are public, either in the form of open data or publicly released information. ## Information useful for interpreting data This is an order of magnitude used to estimate GHG emissions. It can be assumed that the MW correspond to the MWh of that same hour. Data on the sources of electricity produced in Quebec are collected every hour, at half an hour, at 8:30am, 9:30am, etc., with a delay of 90 minutes (360 minutes for the thermal source). Export and import data include transit transits, which represent only a small percentage of trade. This data is not suitable for the legal needs for the production of GHG emissions inventories by customers. Instead, these needs are met by the label (www.hydroquebec.com/developpement-durable/documentation-specialisee/rates-emission-ges.html). ## Description of labels Files can contain textual data (e.g. “Montreal”), numerical data (e.g. “Montreal”), numerical data (e.g. “2021-05-21”), and geometric data (e.g., “46°48'44””). They are organized using labels that correspond to categories. Here are the labels and their description: * LastExecuted: date and time of the last measurement available (in UTC); * date: date and time of the measurement. ### Quebec_Production_Sources Sources of electricity produced in Quebec, in megawatts (MW). * total (numerical). * total (numerical): total (numerical): total electricity production (MW); * wind energy (digital): production of electricity from wind sources (MW); * others (digital): production of electricity from installations belonging to independent producers of different renewable sources (MW); * solar (digital): electricity production from solar source (MW); * thermal (digital): electricity production from thermal source (MW). ### Net exports (exports — imports) of electricity, by market. ### Net exports (exports — imports) of electricity, by market.
