Via Wikipedia:

The average consumption of residential and agricultural customers is relatively high, at 16,857 kWh per year in 2011,[119] because of the widespread use of electricity as the main source of space (77%) and water heating (90%).[124] Hydro-Québec estimates that heating accounts for more than one half of the electricity demand in the residential sector.[125]

Around 10% of the electricity in New York and Boston comes from the James Bay Project; the power is transferred over 1000 miles.
