The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) published a long-term assessment last week warning that several Canadian provinces face elevated electricity reliability risks. NERC names Quebec, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Maritimes as elevated risk and projects summer demand rising by 224 GW and winter demand by 246 GW over the next decade. The report says supply additions must accelerate to avoid reserve shortfalls during extreme weather.
