I think this is one of the challenges that a number of provinces are facing. Certainly Nova Scotia is facing this as it tries to both grow its energy sector and meet the increasing demand for people to use electricity for transportation purposes and for heating, but also transitioning off a fossil-reliant grid.
The problems are threefold.
The most basic one is around affordability and the increase in costs as you make all of these investments.
The second is around reliability because renewables, while they're incredibly important, are not as stable. That means you need to invest in things like battery storage and transmission to balance the grid.
The third is you've got to keep creating competition and choice because we're trying to build a sector across the country. I think that's why our investments in Nova Scotia in general are ones that we're really proud of, and in particularly the Mersey River project, because it delivers on all three of those things.
