Powering Growth: Canada’s Electricity Challenge and the Future of Development Webinar

Access to electrical power is fast becoming one of Canada’s biggest barriers to development. Across the country, developers are already finding it harder to secure the power needed to build and operate buildings. Uncertainty around future electrical capacity is affecting projects, even as governments push for more housing, economic growth and electrification.

Join NAIOP for a timely discussion on what this means for development across Canada. The webinar will open with an outline of the current state of Canada’s electricity system, the pressures ahead and why the issue is urgent. This will be followed by a panel discussion with leaders from the energy management, rental housing and development sectors about what they are seeing on the ground, how energy constraints are affecting projects today, and what needs to change.

Speakers:

• Marc Brouillette, Principal, Strategic Policy Economics
• Peter Mills, CEO, Wyse Meter Solutions
• Jason Ashdown, Co-Founder and Chief Sustainability Officer, Skyline Group; Chair, Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario
