This past January, an energy shortage resulted in a days-long disruption of power supply from Quebec to New England, when unusually cold weather resulted in a massive increase in energy demand. The disruption occurred shortly after the opening of a new power line bringing Canadian hydropower to Massachusetts and is arguably an indication that Hydro-Québec has oversold its energy generation capacity. Hydro-Québec recognizes that its current generating capacity is insufficient to meet US demand.
