Partially, for sure, but continued decarbonization (heat pumps, electric cars, steel and concrete production) will also increase the need for power.

    Electric cars were a nice intermediary but hopefully they'll be phased out by 2040.

    The prairies will likely continue to rely on wind though, as Quebec will rely on hydro.
