About Power Networks Canada
Our commitment to independent, rigorous analysis of Canada's energy sector.
Our Genesis and Mandate
Power Networks Canada was established as the public-facing initiative of the Independent Editorial Power Systems Research Unit. Recognizing a critical gap in accessible, unbiased information, our founders envisioned a platform free from commercial and political influence. Our mandate is simple: to research, analyze, and explain the institutional and operational frameworks of Canada's energy networks. We focus on the "how" and "why" behind energy governance, providing a stable foundation of knowledge for a sector in constant evolution.
