Yeah exactly! Pretty cool, it's not even a separate crown corporation or non profit, it's just a municipal service. Sherbrooke also allowed some crypto farms to set up shop, but instead of rolling in the profits with the profits generated by Hydro Sherbrooke into the municipal budget, they created a separate wealth fund. One of the three dam is the oldest functioning dam in Quebec. Truth be told, they only produce around 8% of the electricity used by the city, the rest is purchased from HQ. But still a cool and unique model. Definitely something that would apply really fucking well to fiber deployments (and even other telecoms like cell towers)
