Trump’s trade threats give Canada’s biggest clean-energy bet new urgency

Canada is putting C$10 billion in federal backing behind a major Newfoundland and Labrador hydroelectric project, positioning the investment as both a clean-energy priority and part of its response to growing trade pressure from the United States.

What you’ll learn

• How federal support could advance the broader C$70 billion Churchill Falls and Gull Island project, with plans to generate 14,000 megawatts of clean power
• Why the Carney government is tying major energy infrastructure investment to Canada’s response to U.S. tariffs and broader economic uncertainty
• How the project could shape Canada’s clean-electricity capacity, infrastructure development and efforts to accelerate major projects

Why this matters

The investment shows how trade tensions, energy policy and infrastructure strategy are increasingly converging as Canada looks to strengthen its economy and expand electricity supply.
