Oct 22, 2024 · According to the IESO’s latest forecast, demand for clean, reliable and affordable power is expected to increase by 75 per cent by 2050, an increase of 15 per cent over the previous year’s forecast. A 75 per cent increase in demand would require 111 TWh of new energy — the equivalent of four and a half cities of Toronto.

Acting early with smart policies can significantly reduce overall costs and make achieving net zero easier. Electricity transformations will require significant capital investment. Early and effective action, including initiatives to make electricity systems more resilient to the effects of climate change, allows Canada to avoid a more difficult tr...
This section summarizes the findings of our technical pathways report Bigger, Cleaner, Smarter,describing the changes needed in Canada’s electricity systems to align them with net zero. Aligning electricity systems with net zero requires attention to all three changes—bigger, cleaner, and smarter.
Our second report, Electric Federalism, identifies how Canadian governments can drive the transformations electricity systems require to achieve net zero.
Jul 18, 2023 · Premier Doug Ford said the power wasn't needed and that wind power was destroying the province's energy system. Last week, however, Ontario Energy Minister Todd Smith outlined a power plan that ...
May 2, 2024 · On Tuesday, the G7 made a commitment to “phase out existing unabated coal-power generation in our energy systems during the first half of the 2030s or in a timeline consistent with keeping a ...

Apr 18, 2024 · With large-scale grid-connected renewable energy, new power systems require more flexible and reliable energy storage power sources. Pumped storage stations play an important role in peak shaving, valley filling, and promoting renewable energy consumption. This paper presents the reasonable energy-abandonment operation of a combined power generation system (CPGS), in which a pumped storage ...
Offsetting this reduction were increases in natural gas and renewables. In 2022, pure gas-generation technologies delivered approximately 64 per cent of net-to-grid generation, up from 42 per cent in 2018. Meanwhile, renewable power generation, including hydro, provided 17 per cent of Alberta’s net-to-grid generation, up from 10 per cent in 2018.

Jan 1, 2024 · In future power systems dominated by variable renewable energy (VRE), intermittent generation will create challenges for the provision of reliable electricity supplies. A broader energy system transition will require changes to the way in which electricity is demanded and supplied, and at a pace much faster than has occurred historically.
