Capital Power

Challenge

As a power generation company with 25 facilities across North America, Capital Power faces a diverse range of issues across the policy, political, and regulatory landscapes. As governments were becoming more climate-focused and dedicated to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, Capital Power recognized that its long-term business objectives and future success were increasingly linked to and driven by government policymaking.

To ensure its continued future success, Capital Power needed to develop and maintain strong political relationships in key federal and provincial ministerial offices to provide the company with a clear line of sight on emerging policy trends and future government decision making and turned to Crestview Strategy for assistance.
