The U.S.-Canada Clean Electricity Relationship: Challenges and Opportunities in Policy Design and Coordination

The document argues that establishing a low-carbon electricity grid capable of handling increased demand from greening transportation, buildings, and industry is the essential foundation for the United States and Canada to meet their greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets.

• The ability to generate, transmit, and distribute large volumes of clean electricity is the critical factor upon which the success of GHG emissions reduction targets for both the U.S. and Canada depends.
• The transition requires a sequenced approach: first greening the electricity grid to prepare for the subsequent increase in demand caused by the electrification of transportation, buildings, and industrial sectors.
