Wiring Up for Resilience

Pembina Institute comments and recommendations

The affordability, reliability, and sustainability of Alberta's electricity system depends on becoming sufficiently resilient to meteorological, wildfires, floods, and other weather events that are intensifying and worsening due to anthropogenic climate change. 

The Pembina Institute submitted comments to the Alberta Electric System Operator's (AESO) climate resiliency white paper and recommends the Government of Alberta rapidly develop a plan to decarbonize its economy by 2050.
