Julia Muggeridge, Electricity Canada’s VP of Corporate Affairs, chats with Michael Powell, VP of Government Relations, about the release of the Government of Canada’s Electricity Strategy and what it may mean for the sector. The strategy emphasizes grid expansion, affordability, and better interconnectivity between provinces, highlighting the need for $1 trillion investment, and a focus on intra-provincial transmission and interties. The strategy also addresses the need for updated Clean Electricity Regulations (CERs) to improve affordability.
Michael and Julia discuss how Electricity Canada will work closely with members to provide detailed feedback and ensure a cohesive submission. They note that the Strategy recognizes the need to double the grid's size by 2050.
