Why does this charge appear?

When Hydro-Quebec processes payments through electronic billing systems and financial networks, the hyphen in the company's official name is stripped out because many legacy payment processing platforms and bank statement formatting systems do not support special characters or punctuation in merchant descriptors. As a result, the charge shows up as HYDRO QUEBEC on your bank statement rather than the properly hyphenated Hydro-Quebec. This is a purely technical formatting limitation and does not indicate any issue with your payment — it is the standard way this Quebec provincial electricity utility appears across most Canadian financial institutions.
