Pricing Dialogue Report Released at CAMPUT 2009 Conference
Along
with the Canadian Gas Association and the Canadian Electricity
Association, in 2008/2009 CAMPUT held a series of three
sessions which progressively explored the implications
of carbon pricing: starting with understanding the scale of
the challenge and the policy options in play; moving on to
understand the potential impacts on both energy consumers
and utilities; and finally to understanding the potential
implications for regulatory systems in the years ahead.
