Will Canada’s “2X” Electrification Strategy Actually Succeed?
The Government’s new National Strategy for an Electrified Canadian Economy sets out an ambitious goal: take all the power we’ve built over the last 150 years and double it in the next 25.
But will it succeed where others have failed? Does the scale of its ambition meet the moment? And concretely, what will it mean for power system utilities, operators and producers as they strive to deliver a reliable, affordable, clean and vastly expanded grid?
Join Philippe Dunsky in conversation with those who’ve been at the helm of major organizations in the electricity sector– executive advisors Chris O’Riley, Mark Sidebottom and Josée Guibord – as they cover:
- ⚡Generation: what will changes to the CER mean for reliability, affordability, innovation, emissions and investor confidence?
- ⚡Transmission: will new money and mechanisms give a much-needed jolt to the buildout of inter- and intra-provincial Tx
- ⚡Consumers: can energy efficiency, DERs and electrification really turn >$1T in new investment into net savings for consumers?
- ⚡Taxpayers vs Ratepayers: how far can we go on cost sharing, and what types of mechanisms will keep rates down even as capex rises dramatically?
Join us for this deep dive into the Electrification Strategy and the potential impacts for Canada’s power sector and our economy.
