Prime Minister Mark Carney has unveiled a national electricity strategy aimed at doubling Canada's power grid by 2050. The plan shifts away from previous strict clean energy mandates, allowing for a larger role for natural gas to ensure grid reliability and energy affordability across different provinces. The strategy involves an estimated $1 trillion investment and includes plans for energy saving retrofits for one million households. However, the government remains noncommittal on whether it will still meet its original 2030 Paris climate targets as it pivots toward a more flexible energy mix.
