More than 150 leaders from Quebec’s renewable energy and energy storage sector gathered in Montreal for an evening of networking, sector dialogue and business meetings with influential industry players.
Highlights from special speakers included:
- Claude Guay, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, who emphasised that the federal budget includes structural measures for the entire renewable energy ecosystem, including municipalities and Indigenous communities. These investments represent a major step forward for energy deployment in the coming years and for the Canadian economy.
- Mr. Louis-Charles Thouin, Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Economy, Innovation and Energy, reaffirmed the Quebec government’s commitment to significantly increase renewable energy production. He also highlighted the importance of improving flexibility, efficiency, and productivity in project delivery, while maintaining rigorous processes.
Over light refreshments, participants mingled with CanREA members, developers, suppliers, municipal representatives, community leaders and industry experts. CanREA was also pleased to welcome William Shemie, a new member of the CanREA Board of Directors.
Quebec Member Network Meeting
Earlier in the day, CanREA held a meeting with its Quebec member network, bringing together committed companies from across the province. At this meeting, CanREA announced the new 2025-2026 Quebec steering committee, composed of Stéphane Desdunes, William Shemie, Sabrina Harbec, Simon Bélanger, Samuel Gervais, Denis Legallais and Marie-Pierre Morel.
This committee reflects the strength, commitment and dynamism of a network that is essential to advancing political discussions and developing the market in Quebec.
A collective effort for Quebec’s energy future
CanREA warmly thanks everyone who attended for their active and constructive participation. The evening provided an opportunity to advance discussions on the future of wind, solar and energy storage in Quebec, while strengthening ties between the organizations shaping the province’s energy development.
