Environmental Challenges and Opportunities of the Evolving North American Electricity Market

Secretariat Report to Council Under Article 13 of the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation

Description

The opening of electricity markets to competition is underway or being considered in Canada, Mexico and the United States, and cross—border trade in electricity is growing, bolstered in part by the long—term stability conferred by NAFTA's trade and investment rules.
