Show support for Canada’s Clean Electricity Regulations

Local climate plans depend on affordable, resilient, low-carbon, electricity supply.

The Clean Electricity Regulations face significant opposition from the fossil fuel industry. It’s important that municipalities and other stakeholders show up to support strong regulations.

With EV sales on the rise – making up more than 8% of all new car sales in Canada last year — the difficulty of installing charging stations in condos and apartment buildings is a growing concern.

Clean electricity supply is essential for:

Urban electrification

Cities planning to electrify buildings and transportation will need plenty of new electricity supply.

Achieving climate targets

Local climate targets depend on a clean provincial electricity grid by 2035.

Reducing future costs

The cost of renewable energy supply is now cheaper than than fossil fuels on a life cycle basis, and makes cities more resilient.

Healthy communities

Phasing out fossil fuels for electricity generation means healthier air for communities where power plants are located.

Support strong Clean Electricity Regulations by sending a letter to Minister Steven Guilbeault.

Municipalities can get in touch with TAF at policy@taf.ca for support. Or, use City of Toronto’s letter as an example. Other stakeholders and members of the public are encouraged to send supportive messages too.
