October 9 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm NDT

Innovation in Newfoundland and Labrador’s Burgeoning Electricity Sector

Newfoundland and Labrador’s electricity grid is in a period of change. New resources have come online, and more are to come as we meet rising demands. Large renewable energy and storage projects are looking to interconnect. We are embarking on a journey with Quebec to reshape the Upper Churchill. This unprecedented level of activity in the electricity sector will present challenges for decision-makers. Innovation will be required to ensure our choices are both informed and efficient, while new technologies will need be developed and adopted to keep operational costs in check in order to keep prices down for consumers. This panel will explore how we can innovate within a highly regulated and highly complex industry.

Net Zero and Marine Transportation in Newfoundland and Labrador

Transportation is the biggest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in Newfoundland and Labrador, and marine transportation accounts for 25% of it. However, marine transportation includes a wide variety of different vessel types and uses – from fishing boats, to ferries, to supply ships, to tankers, and more. Decarbonization of the sector will be complex, but necessary if the province is to achieve net zero by the year 2050. Where and how should Newfoundland and Labrador focus its efforts to innovate? This panel will explore what needs to be done, what existing resources can be brought to the table to help, and how the province can accrue benefits from dedicated time and effort to the cause.
