TAF’s response to Powering Canada Strong

September 2026. The Atmospheric Fund (TAF) supports Powering Canada Strong: A National Strategy for an Electrified Canadian Economy. We are aligned with the federal government’s position that electrification is central to building a stronger, more affordable, and more energy-secure Canadian economy.  A key component for the implementation of Powering Canada Strong must be to ensure predictable demand and connecting supply to end-use electrification. TAF has four recommendations on scaling electrification while driving local
economic development:

1. Establish new and enhanced funding programs to support Canadian households and businesses in adopting distributed energy resources.
2. New funding and regulations to support private investment in electrification of transportation to establish predictable adoption rates and demand.
3. New funding and regulations to mobilize private investment in the electrification of buildings.
4. Keep pace with innovation to accelerate and scale the deployment of new technologies.
