Since the increased focus on sustainability and renewable energy, curtailment is most associated with the reduction of energy production and thus infeed from renewable sources to the grid to balance supply and demand. Curtailment of renewable energy sources, which are often subject to variable output due to weather conditions, usually happens during high wind or solar energy production in combination with low demand because the grid risks overloading from the excess. 3, record 1, English, - energy%20curtailment

In June 2000, the federal, provincial and territorial governments except Quebec signed the Canada-wide Standards for Particulate Matter(PM) and Ozone. These standards commit government to significantly reduce PM and ground-level ozone by 2010. The Canada-wide Standards for PM and Ozone are an important step towards the long-term goal of minimizing the risks of these pollutants to human health and the environment. They represent a balance between achieving the best health and environmental protection possible and the feasibility and costs of reducing the pollutant emissions that contribute to PM and ground-level ozone in ambient air. 1, record 4, English, - Canada%2Dwide%20Standards%20for%20Particulate%20Matter%20%28PM%29%20and%20Ozone

Les standards pancanadiens relatifs aux PM et à l’ozone sont un pas important vers notre but à long terme, qui est de réduire les risques que posent ces polluants pour la santé humaine et l’environnement.

Frankel(1979a) investigated theoretical determinants of risk premiums in a portfolio balance framework. He showed that because of offsetting risks to residents and non-residents, in the absence of government debt, exchange rate risk can be completely diversified and therefore that risk premiums on forward exchange rates can be eliminated even in the presence of risk aversion. 1, record 9, English, - portfolio%20balance%20framework
