  • Canada pushes out target for net-zero electricity grid by 15 years

    (Reuters) -Canada unveiled finalized Clean Electricity Regulations (CER) on Tuesday that aim to create a net-zero electricity grid by 2050, abandoning its previous target of having an emissions-neutral grid by 2035. Ottawa dialled back its original target after feedback from some provinces and energy industry participants, who said the draft CER regulations would make electricity supply in Canada less reliable, more expensive and risked creating stranded assets, government officials said in a briefing. Canada already generates 85% of its electricity from clean sources like hydropower, wind and solar, but the less ambitious regulations mean it will be harder for the country to meet its climate target of cutting carbon emissions 45–50% below 2005 levels by 2035.
