Great potential exists for the development of an Atlantic Energy Corridor for renewables. We have the supply but now we need to embrace a fully integrated plan which involves all Atlantic provinces and northeastern states. This will ensure both production and distribution of our excess renewable resources will reach the northeast US where the demand will remain high and the price will attract investment and development into this region.

Panel Presentation

This session focuses on the implementation of solar as a viable renewable energy for power generation and the improved technologies for geothermal as a viable heating source. This region has one of the best light regimes for the deployment of solar heat and power and one of the best northern climates for geothermal applications. Examples from other jurisdictions will highlight the need for a lucrative pricing structure to attract investment into this region.

  Invited Moderator:Wesley Johnston, Canadian Solar Industries Assoc.
  Invited Presenters:

  • Denis Tanguay, President & CEO, Canadian Geo-Exchange

  • TBA, Canadian Solar Solutions Inc.

Panel Presentation

The who, what, where, when and why on storage options and how other jurisdictions, including Ontario with feed-in tariff systems have forged ahead adding thousands of megawatts of power since the introduction of feed-in tariffs. Additionally, the long anticipated report commissioned by the NS Deptpartment of Energy is likely to address the value of feed-in tariffs as a key driver to ramp up the renewable energy industry in this region. And hear of how storage applications can be a viable alternative to developers and utilities and the benefits of a subsea power line to the US.
