Canada's "Clean" Image Extends to Clean Power

Canada's extensive natural resources are the driver of its powerful economy, and energy is Canada's single most important export. Yet policy makers across the nation are currently dealing with the consequences of a generation of under-investment in the electricity system and deciding what the new grid and supply mix should look like. Several provinces are competing to lead the charge in renewable energy and grid intelligence. Policy makers hope that such efforts will not only provide for Canada's electricity needs but also create the green economy jobs that will drive the nation's next generation of economic development.
