Government of Canada Releases the Draft Clean Electricity Regulations
This month, the Federal government released the Draft Clean Electricity Regulations to support developing a clean electricity grid with the goal of achieving economy-wide, net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The draft regulation is designed to push Canada’s electricity system to use cleaner sources faster and at a greater volume than would be expected without the regulation.
Additionally, this issue covers various pipeline-related news including the Trans Mountain pipeline construction delay, the closure of the Pipeline Performance Measures program, and the release of the 2022 Pipeline Performance report from the Alberta Energy Regulator.
