ATCO CEO Nancy Southern said it’s important to remember the north-south connection in spite of excitement around an east-west Canada transmission line

Ottawa announced this month the Canada Electricity Advisory Council, an independent body of 19 experts who will provide the federal government with advice on how the power sector can help achieve the country’s net-zero emissions goals. Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said it would help shape Canada’s future power grid and decarbonize electricity systems in collaboration with provinces, territories and Indigenous partners.

While there is “a lot of excitement and energy” around the idea of an east-west trans-Canada transmission line, Ms. Southern said it’s important to remember the north-south connection. The council brings together utility, policy and technical experts and will be chaired by Philippe Dunsky, former chair of Quebec’s Electrification Working Group and a member of the federal government’s Generation Energy Council.

“We can’t forget about what’s actually happening in people’s lives,” she said. “We’re not convinced that we’re going to see inflationary pressures decline, at least for some time. And so it’s like life itself – sometimes you have to adjust and be flexible, and bob and weave to accommodate the pressures of the day.”

He told The Globe he was pleased to become a director of a company of which he has “always been a fan.”
