Many of Canada’s ten provinces will take decisions over the next 18-24 months that will help decide the shape of the country’s electricity mix. While jurisdiction over energy is divided between the federal and provincial governments, the latter have authority over exploration, development, conservation and management of natural resources, as well as generation of electricity.

The larger provinces have gone their separate ways with development and distribution, which has not always been the most efficient use of energy resources for Canada as a nation.
