Federal Grid Interconnection Investment Push

⚠ This is a flightplan, not a commitment. Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Overview

Federal government commits to tripling grid interconnection investment from $1.2B to $3.0B/year under the Canadian Infrastructure Bank and Clean Electricity Regulations. Targets: Atlantic Loop, Prairie-BC interconnector, and Ontario-Quebec capacity expansion.

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 1). The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.
