Today’s news a historic milestone for the transition to a low-carbon electricity grid and climate change mitigation
Ottawa, June 28, 2019 – The Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA) applauds the leadership of the Honourable Catherine McKenna, Minister of Environment and Climate Change, and the Government of Canada for adopting a price on carbon for the electricity sector in carbon backstop jurisdictions. This measure will ensure that electricity generation carbon emissions will be internalized in the cost of production, helping to level the playing field with renewables, like wind energy and solar energy, which offer a clean, reliable and competitive alternative to fossil fuels.
