A preliminary look at demand flexibility and peak demand reductions in Canada
A recent study by Efficiency Canada found that utility resource planning has struggled to keep pace with electricity demand growth in recent years. While electrification is widely viewed as the optimal pathway to decarbonizing energy systems, many provinces are also beginning to recognize its economic potential. To realize these objectives while maintaining system reliability and affordability, Canadian utilities will need to capture the full potential of demand-side resources, such as energy efficiency. Authored in Alyssa Nippard and James Gaede.
