I think it’s practically self evident that this is the value maximizing outcome for society and we should really be thinking about grid planning through a totally different lens.

We should treat electricity as a growth platform (like highways, broadband) rather than a commodity to be tightly balanced at least cost. The federal agenda would then shift from “optimize around forecast demand” to “build abundant capacity and let growth come to it.”

Interesting figure. I think these are actual subsidies like consumption subsidies and preferred financing?

Academics will write "more recently, however" and then refer to a book that was published in 1998

Our recent study on building electrification in a net zero future finds limited impact on Ontario electricity rates despite higher electrification. We report load factors (ratio of average to peak load) - a determinant of electricity rates and a measure of the load curve shape.
