About Smart Grid Canada

SmartGrid Canada (SGC) is a new national organization dedicated to promoting a more modern and efficient electricity grid for the benefit of all Canadians. Their goal is to drive innovation and leadership to advance Canada’s Smart Grid infrastructure by engaging stakeholders from multiple industries. They are comprised of public and private organizations, including utilities, vendors, technology and service providers, academia and other industry associations. A not-for-profit association, we work on behalf of our members to:

• Educate and build awareness of the need for and benefits of a modern, “smarter” electricity system – from energy providers through to consumers;
• Promote the research, development and deployment of new and innovative energy technologies and products;
• Advocate for national and provincial energy policies that support the development of Smart Grid technologies in Canada.
