- Eliminating the use of thermal coal
- Increasing overall renewable energy output by 25%
- Increasing bioenergy production by 50%
The government’s 2013-2020 Climate Change Action Climate Change Action included energy efficiency measures. In mid-2018, Energy Transitions Quebec, an agency under the province's Energy and Natural Resources Ministry, released a plan to establish energy efficiency as a priority resource (the 2018 - 2023 energy transition, innovation and efficiency master plan).
