A higher carbon price does not reduce the need for activist, sector specific, policy.

It makes green industrial policy more urgent (and effective)

I list 5 reasons why, in this blog for @broadbent

Under the new 🇨🇦Clean Electricity Regulations, let's make paying people for energy efficiency the first resort and natural gas the last @s_guilbeault @JonathanWNV

We have an affordability and climate crisis

So why are policies paying gas power plants for grid reliability when we could be paying people?

Read this article on why 🇨🇦 should prioritize energy efficiency & demand flexibility for a clean grid

Provinces are realizing that they need energy efficiency to manage affordability and growing clean electricity demand

@jamesgaede gives rundown of provincial policies and what governments should do next for @IRPP

The latest data shows energy efficiency program savings and spending increasing in Canada

[Brendan Haley @br_haley]

Today's Clean Electricity Regulations gives leeway for gas plants to operate in a "net-zero" grid

That's makes the energy efficiency and demand flex policies in the new strategy all the more important

Lots going on today, but did you know

The #cdnpoli Fall Economic Statement tops up $40k interest-free loans for energy retrofits

[Affordability Action Council @AffordabilityAC]

🤔 Did you know? New research from @IRPP shows that emissions pricing isn't the inflation driver many think it is.

Roughly 98% of the increase in consumer prices is due to factors like changes in global energy prices and supply chain disruptions - not emissions pricing.

The @OntarioNDP is proposing expanding bill assistance to natural gas and fuel oil heated homes - created a social safety net against energy poverty

Check out this year’s provincial Scorecard

[Brendan Haley @br_haley]

This Scorecard shows several provinces significantly ramping up low-income energy efficiency because energy poverty is a real problem

The feds should lead by making eliminating energy poverty a national priority. Here is a blog on how.
