Building Canada’s Future Electricity Grid: 2026 Research Now Available
April 22, 2026
EFC is pleased to share its latest national research report, Building Canada’s Future Electricity Grid, now available to members in both English and French.
Developed in collaboration with Dunsky Energy + Climate Advisors, this report provides a comprehensive look at the technologies, supply chains, and policy considerations required to support Canada’s transition to a net-zero electricity system.
As electrification accelerates across transportation, buildings, and industry, electricity demand in Canada is projected to grow significantly by 2050. This will require the grid to expand and evolve at an unprecedented pace.
The research highlights a key shift. While many of the technologies needed to enable this transformation are already available, barriers to deployment, particularly across supply chains and regulatory frameworks, are slowing progress.
Key themes include:
- The role of grid technologies in enabling electrification and reliability
- Supply chain constraints affecting infrastructure deployment
- The need to modernize regulatory frameworks
- Opportunities to strengthen domestic manufacturing and investment
Whether you are involved in manufacturing, distribution, or system integration, these insights provide valuable context to support planning and engagement with partners and policymakers.
