Research and Innovation

The Régie de l’énergie and InnovÉÉ announce the launch of FiabilitÉÉ, a grant program for research projects in the field of electric power transmission reliability. For more information:

• Release of the FiabilitÉÉ program (July 7, 2022) (in French only).

The Régie de l'énergie and the Ministère de l'Économie, de l'Innovation et de l'Énergie (MEIE), via InnovÉÉ, are granting $1.2 million to two collaborative research projects aimed at improving the electric power transmission reliability in Quebec as part of the FiabilitÉÉ program.

• Read the news release (April 4, 2024) (in French only).

The Régie de l’énergie is supporting the next generation of students in the areas of natural sciences, mathematics and engineering by offering scholarships in partnership with the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ) in the field of electric power transmission reliability. For further information:
