Could North America’s power grid be at risk? New report states demand outpacing capacity

From Global News.

A new long-term assessment from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation warns reliability risks are mounting across North America as electricity demand continues to grow faster than new power resources come online.

The report flags elevated risk in parts of Canada, including Quebec, the Maritimes, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, under extreme demand conditions later this decade.

NERC says demand growth is being driven largely by data centres in the U.S., while industrial activity is the primary driver in Canada.
