Building Back Better Through Electrification Webinar On-Demand

Nov 4, 2020

The leaders of the organizations that represent the breadth of Canada’s electricity sector came together on October 20^th 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.
