As Canada prepares for growing electricity demand and increased electrification, understanding what Canadians want from the country’s future energy system will be increasingly important.
Join WaterPower Canada CEO Lorena Patterson and Dr. Monica Gattinger, Founding Chair of Positive Energy at the University of Ottawa, for a discussion on recent geopolitical events and newly released national public opinion research exploring Canadians’ energy priorities, including affordability, electrification, and infrastructure development.
What electricity mix do Canadians want to see? How comfortable are Canadians with new energy infrastructure in their communities? The conversation will also address Canadians’ confidence in government decision-making, and what all of this could mean for accelerating major energy projects, attracting investment, and the future of hydropower in Canada.
Speakers:
- Lorena Patterson, President & CEO, WaterPower Canada (WPC)
- Dr. Monica Gattinger, Founding Chair of Positive Energy at the University of Ottawa
