This report explores how Canada can align energy poverty reduction with decarbonization efforts to ensure equitable access to net-zero retrofits, lower energy costs, improve living conditions, and enhance climate resilience.
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.
This report surveys policy options to align DSM strategies with net-zero emission goals by breaking down unhelpful fuel silos and explores Canadian experiences with institutional misalignments and innovative cross-fuel policy initiatives. Authored by Brendan Haley, James Gaede and Alyssa Nippard.
The Canadian Energy Efficiency Scorecard tracks provinces and territories on 45 metrics across energy efficiency policies and programs, buildings, transportation and industry, and provides an overall score.
This report proposes policy initiatives that can work together to support the home improvement industry to drive retrofits at the scale needed to achieve Canada’s net-zero goals. Authored by Abhilash Kantamneni, Carol Maas, and Brendan Haley.
