Electricity in Canada smart investment to power future competitiveness

Canadian Chamber of Commerce. (Added Author). Canadian Electronic Library (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: This paper will illustrate the necessity of continued investment in electricity generation, transmission and distribution systems to ensure long-term economic growth and competitiveness as well as the need to define the ground rules for energy trade, including electricity, within Canada. Canada's electricity sector is at the leading edge of a decades-long transition towards cleaner sources, "smarter" transmission and distribution systems and better informed and educated consumers that will demand a measure of control over their energy costs. The infrastructure investments over the coming decades will ensure this transition takes place in a manner that enhances competitiveness and limits negative impacts, and responds to North American energy legislation and regulations in a coordinated manner that enables the gradual de-carbonization of the electricity system.
