Investment in electricity infrastructure in Canada from 2011 to 2030 will total an estimated $347.5 billion, in current dollars.
The direct, indirect, and induced impacts of that investment will add an average of $10.9 billion per year to real GDP and create an average of 156,000 jobs per year.
In other words, for every $100 million (inflation adjusted) invested in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure, real GDP will be boosted by $85.6 million and 1,200 jobs will be created.
