An explanation of why Manitoba Hydro does energy planning, what Integrated Resource Planning is and how customers will be engaged throughout the process.
The four scenarios are based on drivers in the energy landscape: Decarbonization and Decentralization. The scenarios also consider potential rates of change: slow, modest, steady and accelerated. Scenarios 1 and 4 are bookends.
solar PV has a greater lifecycle carbon footprint (per unit of energy) than Manitoba’s hydroelectricity, which makes up 98% of Manitoba’s generation. All solar panel installations need an electrical permit and usually a building permit from your municipality.
Aug 8, 2023 · Manitoba Hydro released its first Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), which shows electrical demand in the province could more than double in the next 20 years — and new sources of electricity could be needed within the next decade.

To get a better picture of the range of pathways to net zero electricity in Manitoba, we compare two modelling studies: Manitoba Hydro’s 2023 Integrated Resource Plan (referred herein as Hydro’s plan or the plan) and new modelling data from Navius Research1.
