Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced a comprehensive clean electricity strategy to double Canada's power grid capacity by 2050. The plan aims to lower household energy costs and achieve net zero emissions through a mix of nuclear, hydro, wind, solar, and geothermal energy, while allowing a strategic role for natural gas and carbon capture. The strategy involves an estimated investment of over 1 trillion Canadian dollars and will require approximately 130,000 new workers. It marks a shift from previous regulations by focusing on a broader energy mix and offering tax credits and energy saving retrofits for up to one million homes.
