Ontario Secures Groundbreaking National Energy Corridor Agreement

March 4, 2026

Ontario has secured a groundbreaking national agreement to connect and strengthen Canada’s electricity systems through a first-of-its-kind interprovincial-territorial energy corridor. Initiated by Ontario, this historic partnership will bring together British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Yukon, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and the Northwest Territories to advance new transmission infrastructure and strategic interties needed to power the country’s next generation of growth.

Following Ontario’s Connecting Canada – Building an Energy Superpower Summit in September 2025, provinces and territories agreed that expanding transmission between jurisdictions is essential to meeting rising demand, strengthening energy security, and unlocking the full value of Canada’s clean and diverse energy resources. This agreement marks a major nation-building milestone, enabling a more connected, resilient, and self-reliant Canadian energy system.

This Canada-first partnership delivers on our government’s plan to protect Ontario by supporting thousands of jobs, unlocking billions in investment and building a truly Canadian electricity grid that keeps power reliable, affordable and built by Canadian workers and suppliers.
