Building Back Better Through Electrification Webinar On-Demand

EIN BBBTE 400

Nov 4, 2020

The leaders of the organizations that represent the breadth of Canada’s electricity sector came together on October 20th for the first time in history. Hosted by the Canadian Club of Ottawa, CEA’s President and CEO, Francis Bradley, moderated a discussion on how recovery from the steep economic slump precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic can support broader decarbonization of the economy. He was joined by the CEOs of the electricity trade associations representing new-style renewables, waterpower, nuclear, and human resources. 

The conversation focused on how our industry is poised to meet Canada’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and accelerating the transition to a cleaner energy future, especially considering the direction from government that post-pandemic recovery efforts will also advance goals like decarbonization.

The panel voiced the opportunity to leverage electricity to build a more sustainable tomorrow, but doing so requires a concerted effort, including from government, with a clear, national strategy.
