Clean energy transition must be key for next Ontario government: report

The Pembina Institute recommends that the next Ontario government prioritize the expansion of interprovincial electricity transmission for a clean economy transition, citing the need for reducing barriers to access new markets insulated from U.S. Trade issues.
Ontario's electricity grid emissions have decreased from 94% emissions-free in 2020 to 87% in 2024 due to rising gas generation forecasts, as reported by the Pembina Institute.
The report suggests income-tested incentives for electric vehicles and improved energy efficiency programs to boost Ontario's EV market, which is currently lagging behind other provinces.
It emphasizes that developing a clean energy economy could lead to more affordable living and create new jobs, as stated by Chris Severson-Baker, executive director of the Pembina Institute.
