In the 21st century, building out clean, reliable, and affordable electricity is the best way to bring a growing economy the low-cost power it needs to compete. Today, 85% of Canada’s electricity is generated from clean sources like hydropower, wind, solar, and nuclear—and it’s a big part of the reason why companies around the world are choosing to invest in Canadian workers and business.
Today, the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change, and the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, released Powering Canada’s Future, which lays out our roadmap to build more affordable, reliable, and clean power to help meet growing demand. As part of this plan, the Ministers also released the finalized Clean Electricity Regulations, which will cement Canada’s position as a global clean electricity powerhouse. Powering Canada’s Future will unlock new economic opportunities for workers and investors, drive lower energy bills for Canadian families, and fight climate change.
