Canada : règlement sur l’électricité propre, émissions d’électricité propre et abordable

The Canadian Climate Institute emphasizes the necessity of the Clean Electricity Regulations (CER) to provide market stability and ensure carbon neutrality by 2050. It highlights the need to double or triple grid capacity to support electrification and warns that federal standards are required to prevent provincial setbacks and manage demand from data centers and industry. The text specifically notes the importance of negotiating an equivalence agreement with Alberta to ensure provincial policies achieve the same emission reductions as the federal regulation.

• Canada must double or triple the size of its currently poorly interconnected electrical grids to meet emission targets, a need driven by the adoption of electric vehicles and heat pumps.
• The electricity sector has seen carbon emissions decrease by nearly 60% since 2005, with approximately 80% of the country's electricity currently being non-emitting.
• The Clean Electricity Regulations (CER) set technology-neutral carbon emission limits for fossil fuel power generation, aiming for sector carbon neutrality by 2050 with full implementation by 2035.
• Federal standards are necessary to protect against provincial policy reversals and to address new electricity demand from industrial projects and data centers.
