Our latest newsletter is out!

This week, we’re looking at what comes next for Canada’s Greener Homes Program—and what needs to change if it returns. We also break down where the EV market is heading in 2026, and highlight major solar contract wins in Ontario.

Plus, new research connects renewable restrictions to weaker local economic performance.

It’s a mix of policy, market direction, and real-world impact.

This week, the momentum behind Canada’s energy transition is getting harder to ignore.

Ontario is back in the market with its first major renewable procurement in over a decade.
Hydro-Québec’s solar tender is already approaching 500 MW in proposed projects.
And in Nova Scotia, businesses are moving fast, with commercial solar capacity up 82%.

At the same time, global events continue to reshape the energy conversation in real time.

It all points to the same shift:
renewables are no longer a future bet; they’re becoming a present-day response to cost, policy, and risk.

We break it all down in this week’s issue.

P.E.I. is taking steps to fix growing pressure on its power grid.

The province is exploring battery energy storage as a fast, flexible solution to handle rising demand and improve reliability.

With proposals now open, this could be a big step toward a more stable and modern energy system.

But questions remain:
Is storage enough on its own, or part of a bigger shift?

Alberta’s 2026 budget is out — and it sends a clear message about the province’s energy future.

The government is forecasting three years of sizable deficits, mainly due to falling oil revenues and rising public service costs.

At the same time, electricity demand is expected to grow and clean energy is recognized as part of Alberta’s economic mix.

But here’s the key: there’s no major new funding or incentive program for renewables.

That means solar in Alberta won’t be driven by subsidies. It will be driven by market design, regulatory reform and investor confidence.

Solar isn’t sidelined — but it’s being asked to compete.

The next chapter depends on how Alberta’s electricity market reforms unfold.
