Canada has announced a massive clean electricity strategy aiming to double the size of its power grid by 2050. The plan focuses on electrification to lower household energy costs and reach net zero emissions through a mix of nuclear, hydro, wind, solar, and geothermal energy. The strategy represents a shift in policy, allowing for a larger role for natural gas and carbon capture to maintain grid stability. With an estimated cost of 1 trillion Canadian dollars, the plan will require 130,000 new workers and a significant expansion of transmission infrastructure.
