In December, 2023, the Province of New Brunswick released its new Energy Strategy, Powering our Economy and the World with Clean Energy, Our Path Forward to 2035.
The strategy outlined four major strategic initiatives :
Affordability
Our government is committed to ensuring energy costs are affordable and competitive for all New Brunswickers.
Energy security and reliability
New Brunswick must have a secure supply of energy that supports our climate change and growth agenda while maintaining a supply of reliable, clean electricity.
Economic growth
Our new energy ecosystem should power our economy and be a driving force for growth and prosperity in the province.
Regulatory reform
Our goal is to ensure our province is competitive, responsive and viewed as the place of choice to conduct business.
An important part of the strategy is engaging New Brunswickers. As a result, you are being asked to provide feedback on the four government commitments to facilitate the province’s energy transition. You can provide your feedback in several ways depending on your interest and knowledge level.
Submissions to the survey and the discussion document will be open until Friday, May 31, 2024.
*All submission are confidential.
