New Report: The Investment Case for a Clean, Competitive Canada

The world is undergoing a structural shift from fossil fuels to clean electricity, driven by investor pressure, the electrification of industry and transport, the explosive growth of data-intensive technologies, and decarbonization goals.

Canada has an historic opportunity to lead the global clean industrial economy.

Now it has to deliver clean power at the scale and speed that industry and investors need.

But without urgent action, up to $220 billion in potential capital investment is at risk, alongside up to 80,000 direct jobs.

In other words, Canada’s clean electricity edge is under threat.

In Power at Risk: The Investment Case for a Clean, Competitive Canada, we analyze where, how and why Canada is already facing clean electricity constraints, and what can be done about it.

Prepared in partnership with Dunsky Energy + Climate Advisors, the report draws on interviews with senior executives across finance, technology, clean energy, mining, and heavy industry, alongside an analysis of major industrial and infrastructure projects nationwide.

Global competition is intensifying as other jurisdictions rapidly decarbonize their grids with the aim of attracting clean investment, leaving Canada behind in the race for renewable energy.
