In late 2018, a need was identified 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 CanmetENERGY-Varennes (CEV) held a workshop in February 2019 on creating an open modelling platform for deep decarbonisation studies attended by NRCan, ECCC, and public stakeholders. That summer, the [https://emi-ime.ca/ 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. A need was then identified to provide a coordinated government response to the EMI call<ref>citation needed</ref>

Targets for 2050
* Net-zero buildings
* Net-zero communities
* Decarbonization of the economy focusing on electrification
* New and disruptive technologies and fuels to contribute to deep decarbonization
* Fully grid integrated distributed energy resources (renewables, flexible loads, storage, etc.)
* An electric grid supporting a deeply decarbonized economy
* Decarbonization of the transportation sector

== Purpose ==
The purpose of the Federal Family Working Group on Electrification is to foster intra and inter-departmental relationships on activities relating to large-scale electrification modeling. This greater understanding of the federal electrification modeling ecosystem will hopefully generate more endogenous co-creation and science & policy integration.
