“Our big concern with the draft Clean Electricity Regulations is they’re taking an aggressive approach to decarbonizing the remaining grid, and even though that will only result in a perhaps 3-percentage point increase in non-emitting electricity, it would massively increase costs and risks to public safety.”

From the Energy Council of Canada’s Annual Canada Energy Update, at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, excerpts of remarks by Electricity Canada CEO Francis Bradley, Canadian Gas Association VP Strategy and Development Paul Cheliak, USEA CEO Mark Menezes, and Canadian Nuclear Association’s Christopher Gully.

“In our proposals and plans for the HyVelocity Hub, about 80% of the hydrogen production is going to come from hydrogen produced with natural gas. Another 20% will come from electrolysis. It’s important that we’re increasingly understanding the carbon intensity of hydrogen. The Open Hydrogen Initiative will help with that.”

The panel was moderated by United States Energy Association CEO Mark Menezes. Discussions featured American Gas Association CEO Karen Harbert, America’s Power CEO Michelle Bloodworth, American Public Power Association CEO Scott Corwin, Large Public Power Council President John Di Stasio, and National Rural Electric Cooperative Association CEO Jim Matheson.

“As a make-ready program, we help cover the cost of bringing power from the grid, including any grid upgrades the customer would be responsible for, all the way to the electric vehicle charger, but the program doesn’t cover the charger itself.”

“Both recent pieces of federal legislation increase the appeal to states of new clean energy technologies such as advanced nuclear. Take a deeper dive into how states are planning for advanced nuclear by reviewing the newly released NARUC and NASEO Advanced Nuclear State Action Tracker.”

“It’s clear that states don’t want to subsidize other state’s policies, and they don’t want their customers being affected by another state’s policies.”
