Technology, Regulatory Process & Western Canada's Energy Transition

The energy transition to a low carbon future is well underway. Organizations across the globe are aggressively pursuing a multitude of opportunities and technology will play a crucial role in moving energy systems forward to address climate risk. The ability of governments, regulators, stakeholders and energy project proponents to assess, utilize and capitalize on technological advancement will determine how, and at what pace, the energy transition will unfold.

In support of the energy transition in Canada, the prairie provinces will lead the nation's growth in renewable energy capacity over the next three years and beyond. The Canadian Energy Regulator's recent report, "Canada's Renewable Power," predicts that decreased reliance on coal and substantial increases in wind and solar capacity will increase the amount of renewable energy added to the grid, specifically in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Conventional energy sources in Western Canada such as oil and gas will
