The Alberta government pointed Tuesday to a new report from a federal advisory committee, calling it proof that Ottawa should abandon its “reckless” 2035 clean electricity targets.
But the chair of the committee behind the report said its recommendations are aimed at toning down the political rhetoric around clean power and helping Ottawa and the provinces find common ground.
The federally appointed Canada Electricity Advisory Council — a group made up of industry leaders, Indigenous leaders and executives — released a report Monday with suggestions on how Ottawa can accomplish its goal of decarbonizing the country’s electricity grid.
