WPC Webinar | Short-Term Markets, Long-Term Assets: The Hydropower Paradox

Canada sits on one of the world’s most stable, large-scale sources of firm, low-carbon energy: hydropower. Yet while global demand for secure, dispatchable electricity is accelerating, Canada’s pace of new hydropower development has slowed significantly compared to countries like China and several rapidly growing African economies. At the same time, North America is facing unprecedented demand growth driven by data centres, AI, electrification, and reindustrialization. 

Join Lorena Patterson, President & CEO of WaterPower Canada, for a timely conversation with special guest Doomberg in Short-Term Markets, Long-Term Assets: The Hydropower Paradox. Together, they will explore the economic, geopolitical, and market-structure forces shaping this moment, and whether Canada is positioned to take advantage of it.
