There are several different federal departments that work on different aspects of large-scale electrification modeling. While they share similar goals, they have different pathways, programs, policies and R&D.

In [date TBD], [organisation] identifed a need to build up Canadian capacity to carry out large-scale electrification modelling studies similar to that performed for Pan-Canadian Wind Integration Study (PCWIS), RESCI and North American Renewable Integration Study (NARIS). From there:

* Feb 2019: CanmetENERGY-Varennes (CEV) held a workshop on creating an open modelling platform for deep decarbonisation studies attended by NRCan, ECCC, and public stakeholders.

* Summer 2019: The [[Energy Modeling Initiative]] (EMI) was created with funding from REED (NRCan) with the goal of creating (1) an inventory of Canadian expertise and (2) a 10 year plan for developing Canadian capacity to model electrification.
