Scaling Up Clean Electricity
We need to leverage Canada's clean and renewable resources and expertise to deploy significant power generation capacity over the coming decades.

Electrifying Medium- and Heavy-Duty Fleets
Electrifying transportation has shown early promise in Canada. But the electrification of medium- and heavy-duty vehicle classes is running a few years behind the light-duty market. Despite its potential, electrification is not yet happening at the pace and scale needed to achieve significant emission reductions in these two classes of vehicles.
Canada’s Electrification Advantage in the Race to Net-Zero
