Accelerating Canada’s transition to a net-zero
electricity system

Electrifying Canada is an initiative of the Transition Accelerator. Our mission is to accelerate Canada’s transition to a future energy system where net-zero electricity meets a much higher percentage of Canada’s total energy needs in 2050 than it does today.
