Canada's energy sector remains one of the country's most dynamic, with 2024 being another transformative year. The energy transition continues at a rapid pace while new regulations and amendments to existing ones proliferate at the federal and provincial levels. With so much happening and the pace of change only accelerating, energy sector stakeholders need a comprehensive and in-depth resource charting the most important developments and their implications for sustainable growth.

Covering national and provincial activity in all of Canada's major energy jurisdictions, our National Energy Group's Power Perspectives 2025 is your trusted guide to the year ahead. Authored by some of the most experienced energy lawyers in Canada, this annual publication updates you on environmental and other regulatory changes, the notable increase in provinces' renewable energy procurement, Aboriginal law, and energy subsectors, like carbon capture, storage, and utilization and small modular reactors. It also discusses the federal government's expanded tax incentives for clean energy, and highlights other key trends to navigate in 2025.
