L’électricité propre au cœur de la croissance économique du Canada

A coalition of over 30 Canadian businesses, unions, and research organizations is urging the government to accelerate the transition to a carbon-neutral electricity grid by 2035. The signatories argue that clean electricity is essential for attracting global investment, supporting low-carbon industrial production (such as steel and batteries), and reducing energy costs for households through technologies like heat pumps and electric vehicles. While noting that Canada's electricity is already 83% clean, the letter emphasizes the need for reliable and competitively priced carbon-neutral grids to avoid losing jobs and investments to the United States, which shares the same goal.

• A coalition of more than 30 entities, including professional associations, unions, and research organizations, is calling for the national implementation of non-polluting electricity by 2035.
• Clean electricity is presented as a critical requirement for maintaining competitiveness and attracting investment, particularly as a third of the world's largest listed companies set carbon neutrality goals.
• Canada's current electricity supply is 83% clean, which the authors state provides an advantage over G20 partners, though they argue for further acceleration to ensure grids are carbon-neutral, reliable, and competitively priced.
• The transition to a carbon-neutral economy is expected to lower energy spending for Canadian households through the adoption of electric vehicles and heat pumps.
