Abstract:

This report is the fourth in a series of reports. It is intended to be a useful reference for smart grid practitioners in Canada and for international smart grid stakeholders interested to learn more about smart grid activities in Canada. Natural Resources Canada’s CanmetENERGY research labs manage the Canada Smart Grid Action Network. Members of this network have contributed to this report, which highlights the current status of smart grid progress in Canada, in the 2014 timeframe. It includes provincial and regional activities, identifies projects underway, and discusses how smart grids will be implemented throughout distribution systems in Canada and similar electricity markets.

Please refer to the 2012-2013 report for additional project information and technology focuses of smart grid activities in Canada.
