About
The project, the approach and the creator
A decade of climate policy, what has it delivered?
This project is an attempt to answer that question. For the past 20 years, I have worked on climate and clean energy policy, designing the tools intended to drive investment and expand access to new technologies. Over the last decade many of those policies have been in place across Canada.
They have helped drive more than CAD 330 billion in clean energy investment according to the IEA. The Clean Energy Build-Out Project focuses on the results, tracking what has been built across the country, and how that build-out is reshaping how Canadians move, live, and do business.
How the project works
The Clean Energy Build-Out Project documents the physical infrastructure behind Canada’s energy transition through a cross-country tour along Canada’s electric highway, a photo database capturing projects built over the past decade, and a set of emerging national stories that connect individual sites, investment flows, and the uptake of technologies such as electric vehicles and heat pumps.
Jeremy Moorhouse
Jeremy Moorhouse is a clean energy professional with two decades of experience examining how policy, investment and markets shape energy systems. He led the renewable fuels forecast for the International Energy Agency’s flagship Renewables report series in Paris, developed net-zero scenarios with the Canadian Climate Institute, led transport research and analysis at Clean Energy Canada, and assessed the environmental performance of oil sands projects at the Pembina Institute in Calgary. His work focuses on renewable energy, clean fuels, industrial decarbonization and the growth of clean energy supply chains.
The Clean Energy Build-Out Tour brings this work into the field, tracking the infrastructure and investment that have reshaped Canada’s energy economy over the past decade, from transmission corridors and industrial sites to charging networks and renewable energy projects.
He holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from McGill University and a master’s degree in resource and environmental management from Simon Fraser University. He has also studied photography at the Photo Academy in Paris and Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver.
