SUZUKI: Build Canada’s East-West Grid with Renewables

Support clean power, Indigenous rights, and jobs with an east-west grid

Canada’s electricity demand will double, or even triple, by 2050. We need a power grid that is fit for the future that provides clean, reliable and affordable electricity for Canadians.

We’re calling on the government to invest $20 billion over five years in new electricity transmission connections between provinces, supports for Indigenous-led projects, and training for workers.

A stronger and more connected grid offers hundreds of thousands of jobs, reduced pollution, real energy security and lower energy bills. We can do this all while upholding Indigenous and workers’ rights and benefitting communities from coast to coast to coast.

Over 100 organizations — including Indigenous, labour, and environmental voices — are urging federal leaders to make major investments to upgrade and build a truly Canadian east-west grid supported by renewable power and Indigenous-led energy projects.

Sign today: demand real, nation-building action for Canada’s renewable energy future now!
