Solar conference in Calgary! May 8th and 9th 2019
Solar Canada Conference & Exhibition, Canada’s largest and most important solar energy event, is returning to Calgary, Alberta May 8-9, 2019. Attendees will gain insights into Canada’s changing energy markets and policies; discover revolutionary research and technologies; network with solar innovators; and, receive updates from jurisdictions across Canada. With recent solar projects going forward at an average contracting price of less than five cents per kilowatt-hour, Alberta is leading the country with the lowest rates on solar energy. Calgary provides an excellent backdrop to discuss Canada’s clean energy future. “Utility-scale solar is now cost competitive with natural gas, and this is transformative for our industry,” says John Gorman, CanSIA President & CEO. “Achieving Alberta’s 30 percent by 2030 renewable electricity target has just become a lot more cost-effective. This sends a clear signal to energy consumers and governments across Canada that solar is a clean and low-cost energy option.” Event highlights include: 1. High-profile speakers including the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Federal Minister of Natural Resources and Rabia Ferroukhi, Acting Director of the Knowledge, Policy & Finance division at the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). 2. An expo hall that brings together the entire solar industry supply chain and includes educational sessions, case studies, a dedicated section for startup companies, electric cars and more. 3. Networking events that connect industry stakeholders and encourage business development and partnerships. For more information and to register, please visit: https://solarcanadaconference.ca.
