Utility’s Integrated Resource Plan predicts the province will need new sources of electricity within 10 years
Manitoba’s demand for power could more than double over the next 20 years – and it will need new sources within a decade.
As calls grow for a doubling or tripling of Canada’s electricity generation capacity, some utilities have other ideas “Some of those [contracts] start to roll off in 2025 and 2026, so that will also be adding to the electricity available within the province,” Ms. Grewal said. “That is not the most cost-effective potential energy choice,” she said. “We’ll be looking at wind backstopped by dispatchable natural gas that will only be used strategically and intermittently. Because when you combine the two, they can reduce the [greenhouse-gas] emissions in the province.”
