Clean growth and energy affordability in the 2023 Federal Budget

The Canadian Climate Institute identifies key priorities for the 2023 Federal Budget to ensure Canada remains competitive in the global race to net zero, specifically focusing on mobilizing investment, leveraging carbon pricing, and upgrading electricity systems to reduce costs for households and businesses.

• The Canadian Climate Institute identifies four priority areas for evaluating the 2023 Federal Budget: the implementation of the Canada Growth Fund, a public financing strategy using carbon contracts for difference, electricity sector investment tax credits and inter-provincial grid funding, and 'electric federalism' to upgrade electricity systems in partnership with provinces.
• To compete globally, Canada is advised to adopt a 'made-in-Canada' approach rather than copying the U.S. model, utilizing competitive advantages like carbon pricing to attract private capital for sectors including hydrogen, electric vehicles, batteries, and clean electricity.
