Latest paper finds a system-wide shift from gas to electric heat is the lowest-cost path through the clean energy transition.
Canada’s clean energy transition means the way we heat our buildings must change—we need to use more electricity and less gas.
This has major implications for Canada’s energy infrastructure—the electricity systems and gas pipelines that deliver energy to many homes and businesses in Canada.
Provincial governments should start planning now to shift from gas to electricity—or they risk leaving systems unprepared for the energy transition, and leaving consumers on the hook for high costs.
