Quebec Wind-Hydro Integration: 6 GW

⚠ This is a flightplan, not a commitment. Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Overview

Quebec leverages its hydro reservoirs as giant batteries for intermittent wind power. 2 GW of new wind capacity integrated with Hydro-Quebec dispatch creates a 24/7 clean power export product. Export revenue grows as New England and New York buy Canadian clean electrons.

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 16). The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.
