Independent
One methodology, applied consistently on major Canadian energy and climate policy announcements.
A standardized methodology is applied to every policy evaluated, regardless of the organization or jurisdiction it applies to.
Independent assessment
Canadian energy policy insights, independently assessed.
The Energy Policy Monitor delivers independent, timely analysis of Canada's major energy and climate policy developments. Led by the Open Insights team, EPM cuts through complexity to provide clear, evidence-based assessments of what new policies mean for emissions trajectories, energy systems, and economic outcomes.
