Forecasts from the Canada Energy Regulator’s Canada’s Energy Future 2021 report show electricity prices across Atlantic Canada will increase over the next 28 years. A new discussion paper from the Atlantica Centre for Energy looks at how federal and provincial regulations aimed at reducing emissions and reaching net zero by 2050 will change the future cost of electricity. Many of these regulations have not been captured in the Canada’s Energy Future 2021 report, so the paper explores how the pricing forecasts might change for Atlantic Canadians.
