Abstract: This report provides an update on smart grid activities in Canada since the last report published in 2014. Key research, development, demonstration and deployment activities related to smart grid are highlighted as of December 2018. The report is intended to be a useful reference for Canadian and international smart grid practitioners, stakeholders and policymakers. This report is published by Natural Resources Canada’s CanmetENERGY research centre in Varennes, which manages the Canada Smart Grid Action Network (CSGAN). CSGAN members discuss regional activities, share research topics of interest, collect smart grid metrics in Canada, present international knowledge and experience sharing opportunities, track standard development, and explore smart grid outlooks. CSGAN members’ updates have contributed significantly to producing this report.
