Renewable Energy Quebec (formerly Net-Zero Quebec) is returning to Montréal on May 21, bringing together industry leaders, investors, policymakers and partners for a full day of conversations about Quebec’s clean energy future.
Programming rooted in the issues of the day
Among this year’s featured speakers is Jimmy Jean, Vice-President, Chief Economist and Strategist at Desjardins Group, who will provide a candid overview of the macroeconomic landscape, investment conditions and signals guiding decision making in Quebec and across Canada.
The morning will continue with an opening panel on the wind industry, which plays an ever-growing role in Quebec’s energy supply. The discussion will highlight how essential collaboration is between project developers, First Nations and municipal governments to bring strategic wind infrastructure to fruition in Quebec.
The opening panel will be followed by two concurrent discussions, one on financing options to support major investments in the coming decades and the other on the very real impact of current supply chain and labour issues, two key elements for stimulating the local economy through a successful energy transition.
In the afternoon, a fireside chat series will provide food for thought before participants move on to one of two concurrent panels. These will address the challenges of rolling out large-scale renewable projects in Quebec while meeting environmental and social standards, and the issue of growing energy demand as many sectors of the economy decarbonize.
The day will wrap up with closing remarks and a networking reception, CanREA Connects—Quebec, a perfect opportunity to continue your conversations in a more informal setting.
