Strengthening Canada’s Grid: a plan to build a cleaner, more resilient grid that is adaptable to regional conditions and priorities. This will include strategies for developing and expanding smart grids, improving interties, increasing the use of mass storage, and developing and deploying new clean energy technology such as nuclear, hydrogen and renewables.

NDP
The International Energy Agency has called on governments throughout the world to dramatically speed up efforts to build renewable energy. New Democrats will set a target to power Canada with net-zero electricity by 2030, and move to 100% non-emitting electricity by 2040. To drive this progress, we will establish a new Canadian Climate Bank that will help boost investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency and low carbon technology across the country. It will also provide support for interested provinces to inter-connect power grids and introduce smart grid technology, to bolster Canada’s energy security and distribute clean power across the country. The Climate Bank will also support made-in-Canada manufacturing of renewable energy components and technologies, and help scale up Canada’s clean energy industry.

Green
- Build inter-ties to link existing provincial grids, creating a national energy corridor for green renewable energy.
- Implement a national, non-emitting electricity grid.
● Ensure that 100 per cent of Canadian electricity is produced from renewable sources by 2030
● Create a national coast to coast to coast energy corridor for green renewable energy by building up the inter-ties needed to link existing provincial grids
● Implement a national, non-emitting electricity grid to help Canada meet its target of net-zero GHG emissions
