    Artelys Canada Inc.

    Environment and Climate Change Canada requires support on methodology, data and assumptions to improve in-house electricity sector capacity expansion model called NextGrid as detailed in the Statement of Work, Annex A to the bid solicitation.

    1. To identify existing datasets that could be used to create a representation of the U.S. in NextGrid;
    2. To provide a methodology for converting these existing datasets into simplified representations of the U.S. in NextGrid;
    3. To identify, and support the integration of, existing market-specific characteristics that impact how electricity is traded between the U.S. and Canadian provinces.
    4. To propose future scenarios beyond the status quo for Canada-U.S. intertie development and energy/capacity contracts; and
    5. Provide support in interpreting the outcomes of the implementation of the above in NextGrid.
