Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday unveiled Canada’s new clean electricity strategy as electricity demand in Canada grows.
The plan aims to double the capacity of Canada’s grid by 2050, Carney said, adding that the federal government is launching consultations with provinces, territories, Indigenous groups, utility companies and unions.
“Over the coming decades, Canadians will use more electricity because many of the things we use every day, the cars we drive, the heaters in our home, the machines in our factories are switching to electric power. Doubling our grid to meet that demand won’t be easy,” Carney said.
PM Carney: "Canada will double its electricity generation over the course of the next two decades because the path to affordability is electrification. The path to competitiveness is electrification. The path to net zero is electrification." pic.twitter.com/i742RyCbZu
