Canada Releases Clean Electricity Regulations Targeting a Net Zero Grid by 2035
“A net-zero grid will serve as the basis for climate actions across the economy"
The Government of Canada released its proposed Clean Electricity Regulations, aimed at advancing the decarbonization of the country’s electricity grid, and supporting its net zero emission climate goals.
Canada also joined a commitment last year with the U.S. to release clean energy regulations in 2023. Earlier this year, the Biden administration released a set of proposals aimed at reducing U.S. power sector emissions, including putting in place CO2 emissions controls at fossil fuel-fired power plants starting in 2030.
