据路透社蒙特利尔 5月26日报道，周日，加拿大魁北克省省长弗朗索瓦·莱科特表示，他将提出一项将水力发电用于公共交通的全面计划, 并于 2019年底或 2020年初用于供暖和空调。

该计划将要求扩大现有的或计划中的地铁和轻轨线路，以及蒙特利尔和魁北克市区新的有轨电车线路，以及公交线路的电气化。

莱科特表示，他希望在省内尽可能多地购买新铁路车辆以及公共汽车，希望能够超过国际贸易协定规定的限额，以便从在魁北克都有设施的庞巴迪公司和阿尔斯通公司购买更多的车辆。

莱科特将魁北克视为北美的“绿色电池”，并表示，如果目前魁北克水力发电的盈余被收紧，这家国有公用事业将与当地社区合作修建新的水坝和风能。

目前，魁北克省36%的能源消耗依赖水电，石油占该省能源消耗的40%。

尽管他希望魁北克人使用公交，以减少交通堵塞和温室气体排放，但莱科特承认公交对魁北克偏远地区来说并不是一个切实可行的解决方案。对于这些地区，他的政府将维持对购买电动车的补贴。

他的目标是到2030年将魁北克的温室气体排放量减少37.5%，并减少该省每年100亿加元的进口石油费用，进口石油其中80%来自美国。

Quebec provincial leader aims to boost use of hydroelectric power

Fran?ois Legault, premier of Canada’s hydroelectricity-reliant Quebec province, on Sunday said he would present a sweeping plan to electrify public transport, and heating and air conditioning by the end of 2019 or the start of 2020.

The plan will call for expanding existing or planned subway and light-rail lines plus new tramways in the Montreal and Quebec City areas, as well as the electrification of bus lines.

Legault said he wants to buy as many new rail cars and buses as possible from within the province. He said he hopes it is possible to exceed a limit stipulated in international trade agreements so that more vehicles can be purchased from Bombardier Inc and Alstom SA, both companies with facilities in Quebec.

Legault sees Quebec as North America’s “green battery” and said if there is a takeup of Hydro-Québec’s present surplus, the publicly owned utility could build new dams and wind energy in co-operation with indigenous communities.

Quebec now relies on hydro power for 36% of its energy consumption, with oil accounting for 40% of energy consumed in the province.

While he wants to encourage Quebecers to use transit, to reduce congestion and greenhouse gas emissions, Legault admitted transit is not a practical solution for Quebec’s remote regions. For those areas his government will maintain subsidies for the purchase of electric vehicles.

His goal is to cut Quebec’s greenhouse gas emissions by 37.5% by 2030, and to reduce the province’s C$10 billion a year bill for imported oil, 80% of which comes from the United States.
