The Manitoba Affordable Energy Plan is a blueprint outlining the next generation of energy that will keep rates low for all Manitobans. This plan will include government-to-government historic partnerships in wind generation, the best source of new clean energy, while ensuring Hydro stays public.
Together we will build the next generation of affordable energy to power Manitoba’s future.
Actions in the plan include:
- Creating an Indigenous loan guarantee program to provide First Nations and Métis the capital support and capacity to participate in the energy transition and finance new partnerships in wind generation.
- Refurbishing Hydro generating stations to unlock up to 200MW.
- Ending the first-come-first-served approach for large grid connection to better align with our economic development goals.
- Strengthening energy codes for homes and buildings to generate long-term energy savings for Manitoba families.
- Stronger oversight of the oil and gas sector with regular provincial inspections to ensure environmental safety and reliability.
- Installing new Manitoba Hydro owned and operated public electric vehicle (EV) chargers.
- A renewed focus on energy security with stronger protections in place for procurement and data management to keep our energy supply safe and secure.
