What You Need to Know
Today, Prime Minister Carney announced that we’re launching a new National Electricity Strategy – our plan to double the capacity of our grid by 2050 and supply clean, reliable, affordable power across the country for decades to come.
To develop this strategy, today we are launching consultations with provinces, territories, Indigenous Peoples, utilities, and unions. Over the next few months, we will work together to identify the actions needed to double our grid most effectively and affordably.
This strategy will be guided by four pillars:
Building more transmission lines, clean power projects, and critical energy infrastructure across Canada.
Connecting provincial and territorial electricity grids to deliver more reliable and affordable power.
Training, attracting, and retaining the talent needed to build the grid of the future.
Making more of the technologies and components powering our grid here at home.
In a more dangerous and volatile world, Canada is leveraging our energy resources to build a stronger economy. Electricity is central to this mission.
