Assessing Net-Zero Electricity Supply and Demand Models in the Atlantic Loop
May 2022
The Ecology Action Centre asked EnviroEconomics and Navius Research to assess net-zero electricity pathways for the Atlantic region, with a focus on Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The project employed a mix of modeling and analysis to highlight how electricity demand and supply might evolve under alternative net-zero scenarios in the Atlantic region. Results provide a view of decarbonized electrification in Atlantic Canada, including interconnected transmission systems and electricity trade, and discuss integrated planning opportunities for the region.
