Vegetation control planning in rights-of-way (transmission system) - Shapefile

Dataset on Hydro-Québec’s annual vegetation control planning to clear rights-of-way in the power transmission system (high-voltage lines). Vegetation control work is required to ensure the safety of Hydro-Québec personnel and the public, in addition to the reliability of the system. It is carried out on a cyclical basis over more than 140,000 ha at the rate of about 20,000 ha per year. Note: the schedule is subject to change without notice.

Useful information for interpreting the data

The data are taken from the vegetation control planning schedules to clear the rights‑of‑way in Hydro‑Québec’s transmission system.

• The database contains information from a tracking file on vegetation control planning in rights-of-way and from a georeferenced file that includes the rights-of-way in the transmission system.
• No geometric measurements should be taken using these data (estimated average precision).
