4. The volume of energy attributable to the electric power distributor or a natural gas distributor is determined by the Minister of Natural Resources and Wildlife taking into account the information obtained from the distributors for their fiscal year preceding the fiscal year for which the annual share is calculated.If the volume of electric power is attributable to an energy distributor having entered into a service agreement with Hydro-Québec in the course of its distribution activities to delegate the management of its programs and actions promoting energy efficiency and new energy technologies to Hydro-Québec, that volume is nil.
The volume of electric power distributed by the electric power distributor to an energy distributor that has not entered into the agreement referred to in the second paragraph is not attributable to the electric power distributor. In such a case, the volume of electric power attributable to the energy distributor is determined by the Minister taking into account the information obtained from the energy distributor for the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year for which the annual share is calculated.
The volume of energy attributable to a fuel distributor is converted into megajoules according to the following table:
