Ottawa Directs Dollars to Clean Grid, Transit, Indigenous Guardians – The Energy Mix: Last Wednesday, Natural Resources Minister Seamus O’Regan Jr. unveiled a C$960-million Smart Renewables and Electrification Pathways Program, aimed at supporting non-emitting technologies like wind, solar, storage, hydropower, geothermal, and tidal, and at modernizing the country’s electricity grid. The Canadian Environment Week launch took place during a virtual forum hosted by the Canadian Electricity Association that laid out four key “disruptors” for electricity regulation—decarbonization, decentralization, digitalization, and democratization.

A day later, the Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) said it would invest $14.4 million to help Edmonton buy 20 new zero-emission buses and complete a municipal building retrofit study. “The CIB is determined to support Canadian municipalities’ climate action and infrastructure renewal,” said President and CEO Ehren Cory.
