Canada’s ongoing efforts to transition to a clean and renewable power supply and upgrade its electricity infrastructure is a significant driver of transmission and distribution (T&D), and smart grid investment. Canada is a smart grid pioneer, and is one of the world’s earliest adopters of smart grid technologies with:

• more than 50% smart meter penetration
• over 10 GW in distributed generation,
• 40,000 electric vehicles on the road
• and almost 1,100 electric vehicle charging stations.

By 2020, the smart grid industry in Canada will grow to approximatelly $2 billion.
