**Note, this space is currently in development**

Overview

This is a space for sharing knowledge about large-scale electrification modeling and related efforts occuring within the federal government.

Background

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 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 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[1]

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.
