Ottawa’s $66.3-million retrofit investment is useful. Canada now needs to turn individual projects into an electrification industry that lowers bills, strengthens the grid and builds lasting capacity.

Max Fawcett argues Canada’s energy superpower ambitions must account for changing markets and energy technologies. In an Energi Media interview, he questions the Pacific Link investment case and debates electrification policy with Markham Hislop.

Canada’s drilling expertise could underpin a geothermal industry. Peter Massie says shared test centres and a coordinated industrial strategy would help companies prove their technologies and supply growing electricity demand.

Electricity markets must evolve as power systems become more complex, the IEA warns. Experts interviewed by Energi Media explain how better investment rules, flexible electricity use and coordinated provincial planning can support reliable, affordable power.

Canada’s electricity ambitions require more than new infrastructure. EY Canada’s Moz Salim explains why provincial coordination, customer trust, and skilled workers will shape the transition.

Canada’s electricity politics are shifting fast, but UVic modeller Madeleine McPherson says building a bigger grid is only half the challenge. Canada must also electrify transportation, buildings and industry much faster.
