Énergir and municipalities
Énergir is present in over 340 municipalities across Québec and is a major ally in the energy transition and the economic development of municipalities. Through our decarbonization solutions or our proactive approach to developing innovative energy projects with municipalities (like the supply chain for renewable natural gas), our team of experts can advise you and help you meet your needs.
We are also a valuable partner for municipalities in managing public spaces for urban infrastructure networks.
Agreement between the municipalities and Énergir
An agreement with Union des municipalités du Québec (UMQ) and an agreement with the Fédération québécoises des municipalités (FMQ) have been concluded in managing public spaces for urban infrastructure networks.
Path to 2030: Our decarbonization vision
Quebec is in greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction mode, and Énergir is already taking action. Our vision includes concrete measures—energy efficiency, dual energy, renewable natural gas—that enable us to play a decisive role in addressing climate, economic and social issues for our customers and Quebec. Our decarbonization vision aims to significantly reduce the volumes of fossil natural gas distributed, and to gradually make the remaining volumes renewable.
Decarbonization as a common goal
We share and encourage the goal of decarbonizing municipalities. In the building sector, we aim to reduce the GHG emissions of the buildings we serve by 30% by 2030, with a view to making the sector carbon neutral by 2040.
Looking for a site suitable for renewable natural gas production?
We mapped the federal census of agriculture (2021) to help developers position their projects at the centre of organic deposits and close to our network.
Safety and prevention
Natural gas is a safe energy source. However, it’s important to follow basic safety measures and maintain the equipment properly. At Énergir, the network is monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Over half of our employees work on activities related to planning, maintaining, repairing and developing the gas distribution system. These experts have a single focus—ensuring a reliable, uninterrupted, safe supply of natural gas.
