Momentum to expand interprovincial electricity transmission and trade is building and Provinces and Territories appear readier than ever to overcome historic silos and enhance East-West electricity transmission capacity. What are the long-term benefits — for the economy, for grid reliability, and for the environment — and are they finally at hand? Join senior energy leaders Mark Sidebottom (Nova Scotia Power), Tim Eckel (formerly SaskPower), Vittoria Bellissimo (Canadian Renewable Energy Association (CanREA)) and Philippe Dunsky for a timely webinar on what expanded interprovincial transmission in Canada could mean. Together, they’ll explore: The Opportunity: insights into the regions, technologies and projects currently at play, as well as the key benefits that expanded transmission can offer. The Challenges: despite several success stories, interprovincial transmission in Canada has been limited. We’ll explore the planning, regulatory, infrastructure and market barriers that have prevented further expansion to date. The Vision: the roles that utilities, government, system operators and the private sector can play to advance interprovincial transmission.
