Even in the absence of national carbon pricing in the US, the FERC has opened the doors for the potential integration of state determined carbon pricing into wholesale energy markets. Meanwhile, in Canada, the Government of Canada introduced a price on carbon across the country in 2019. Many provinces and territories have since introduced their own carbon pricing systems.

Further, in its just released new Climate Plan, entitled A Healthy Environment and a Healthy Economy, the Government of Canada is proposing to increase the carbon price by $15 per year, starting in 2023, rising to $170 per tonne of carbon in 2030. Canadian power customers are currently struggling to integrate their mandatory regulated carbon pricing obligations with the energy purchasing and conservation strategies. Carbon market signals are also affecting the construction of energy and transportation infrastructure across Ontario and Canada.

Join us for a discussion with large corporate energy consumers who have taken on carbon commitments, energy regulators, and members of the Mark Carney Task Force on Scaling the Voluntary Carbon Markets on how their carbon and energy markets needs are reflected in their Ontario and Canadian strategy.
