Press Release
OTTAWA, ON, – WaterPower Canada (WPC) hosts its annual national conference and trade show to enable a renewable future through collaboration and collective action.
The federal government’s commitment to achieve a net-zero electricity system by 2035 is possible—but only through a concerted industry effort. By working together, Canada can achieve these goals with electricity as the foundation of its renewable future.
WPC seeks to play an integral role in facilitating the important discussions required to empowering a net-zero future. On Nov. 27 and 28, WPC hosts the Canadian Waterpower Week Conference & Trade Show to explore where opportunities for cooperation exist to accelerate progress and where challenges and barriers remain. The Conference brings together key decision makers, industry experts, policymakers and business influencers from Canada’s largest electricity companies that want to take collective action.
“WaterPower Canada and its members are committed to working with governments, Indigenous groups and communities to move Canada toward net-zero,” says WPC President Gilbert Bennett. “Achieving our 2035 goals will require unprecedented, concerted and sustained efforts, and we are committed to elevating the important discussions necessary to form these essential partnerships.”
Taking place in our nation’s capital, this year’s Conference will offer an intensive, highly collaborative exploration of new technologies, best practices and pressing issues. The theme, Charging Ahead: Powering Through a Changing World, will cover wide-ranging topics such as the changing role of hydropower in our electricity system, what it takes to rapidly electrify our economy and how industry and governments can solve issues together.
This year’s conference speaker and panel highlights include:
