Case name
Nadia Mbenga Molima v. Hydro-Québec
Class action
Between 2008 and 2013, Hydro-Québec deliberately manipulated the information submitted to the Régie de l’Énergie by overestimating cost projections and underestimating revenue projections to obtain a higher profit than authorized. During this period, more than $1.2 billion was illegally charged to Quebecers.
The plaintiff is therefore claiming an indemnity corresponding to the variation in Hydro-Quebec’s revenues between 2008 and 2013.
