Two regional dialogues and studies were conducted in Western and Atlantic Canada. The studies used simulation models to assess promising electricity infrastructure projects to help specific regions meet their future electricity needs while lowering GHG emissions.
A summary of the technical findings and respective regional policy environments are captured in two reports:
- Summary for Policy Makers (SPM) for Western RECSI (PDF, 1.51 MB)
- Summary for Policy Makers (SPM) for Atlantic RECSI (PDF, 1. 38 MB)
Full technical reports are available upon request (available in English only). Please contact, and indicate the report of interest, nrcan.recsi-creis.rncan@canada.ca.
