Today, the Government of Canada and its partners took an important step to secure a clean, abundant and affordable electricity grid in British Columbia by breaking ground on Phase 1 of the North Coast Transmission Line (NCTL), an expansion of the electricity transmission line that runs from Prince George to Terrace.

In a time of global volatility, Canada is focused on what we can do: building an affordable, competitive, sovereign and sustainable Canadian economy. Central to this mission is our National Electricity Strategy, a blueprint for supplying and controlling our own electricity by doubling our grid by 2050 to meet demand and secure sovereign power supply. Clean Canadian electricity is the clear solution to Canada’s energy security, affordability and competitiveness, and we are building ambitious grid infrastructure that will make that vision a reality.

More than double the availability of clean, low-cost electricity along Canada’s West Coast;

Unlock transformative industrial projects, including the Ksi Lisims LNG facility and critical minerals developments in the Golden Triangle;

Create $10 billion in new economic activity and nearly 10,000 jobs; and

Reduce emissions by up to three million tonnes annually — the equivalent of taking one million vehicles off the road every year.
