Canada must double or triple its electricity output to meet its 2050 net-zero emission targets, says a report submitted to the Senate by Energy NL, which represents energy organizations in Newfoundland and Labrador. The submission says meeting the targets is “likely not possible” without more federal subsidies.
The report says to meet net-zero electrical system targets by 2035, Canada needs significantly more non-carbon electricity generation. And to meet 2050 overall net-zero emission targets, Canada needs to expand its current electrical generation capacity by two or three times.
